PROTEST RALLY IN LANCHKHUTI MUNICIPALITY

2012-12-01 In late November, activists of the Georgian Dream Shota Pirtskhalaishvili was on a hunger strike for several days outside Lanchkhuti Municipality Gamgeoba. He was supported by some of the activists of the Georgian Dream. Although he stopped hunger strike, the protest was continued in a larger scale. In early December, another group of activists supported by the Republicans laid out a tent with the capacity of 200 people. Several people on a hunger strike stayed in the tent, demanding resignation of Acting Gamgebeli Kakha Askurava and Sakrebulo Chairperson Revaz Chitadze, governor and president. As participants clarified, following the elections the power was assumed by a different political force in the country and therefore, subsequent changes in municipal authorities were necessary.
