Georgia holding protests against construction of Namakhvani HPP

On the central square of Kutaisi, a rally is underway against the Namakhvani hydroelectric power station's construction.

The protesters demand to terminate the Enka company contract and recall the company from the Rioni gorge.

Today, the protesters also demanded the resignation of Georgia's Minister of Economic and Sustainable Development, Natia Turnava.

The demonstrators claim that the minister insulted them, which is why she must leave her post.

Simultaneously, a "silent" action of solidarity is underway in front of Tbilisi's government administration building.
