Protests in Georgia may achieve their goal in the coming days. However, for this to happen, the government needs to be shaken up a bit more, said a civic activist, curator, and artist Nataliya Vasadze in a comment to the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel.
"The protests can continue until the government does what is being asked of them," Vasadze assured.
She pointed out that the government is spreading a message claiming that it does not understand the purpose of the protests.
Vasadze explained that the citizens of Georgia are protesting against the election results, which "have nothing to do with what Georgians think." Currently, "85% of citizens believe that their country should become a member of the EU, and the elections were wrong."
"I think this (achieving the goal of the protests - ed.) will happen very soon. I think we should count the days. The police will not be able to continue. We already know some of the people who are going out against the population. I think they are scared themselves. I believe everything will crack soon; we just need to shake them up a little more, and at some point, they will all understand," Vasadze said.
The activist also noted that Georgia is still waiting for support from the United States and the European Union, as well as for sanctions.
Protests in Georgia
Protests in Georgia began after the pro-Russian party Georgian Dream won the parliamentary elections by a wide margin.
Opposition parties did not recognize the election results. Their leaders are also participating in protests against the government.
