According to Vazha Siradze, the head of the Patrol Police Department, the mobilization of the police in parallel with the rally of the "National Movement" serves to protect public order. He told reporters about it.
He also said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already explained what the law of assembly and demonstration is, as well as what this law means.
"The police are here to protect public order and ensure public order in the city. The Ministry of Internal Affairs made a statement about all this and explained the law on "assemblies and demonstrations" to everyone. It was also explained what an offense is and what is not. That is why the police are here, and the police will take appropriate, immediate measures provided by law in case of violation. We will not allow anyone to paralyze and collapse the city," Vazha Siradze said.
The "National Movement" is holding a rally. The march started from Avlabari and spread to both shores. Protesters stopped at several locations, including the Georgian Dream office and the president's administration.
