Parliamentary majority member Shalva Papuashvili says that the UNM's decision to hold the rally on Dec 21, when ex-pres. Saakashvili celebrates his birthday, testifies to the fact that the party is under the influence of the cult of the individual.
''The UNM is in the hard-to-watch situation. We can witness the protest wave called 'Freedom to Misha.' They have failed to win any support from the public, which has made it clear that everyone must respect the law and legal practices as everyone is equal before the law,'' Papuashvili stressed.
The UNM rally is set to be held on Dec 21, with protesters to demand the ex-president's release.
