Protests Against The President
by admin on Feb.12, 2009, under Agitation
Protests rocked the Georgian capital for the third day. Protestors were demanding the resignation of Georgia’s President, Mr.Mikheil Saakashvili. Georgia, which became independent after that fall of the Soviet Union, has witnessed partisan politics since then. Opposition is still not strong enough and the number of protestors seemed to be dwindling on Saturday. There was a break in the demonstrations on Sunday, as it was the week before Easter. The Opposition blames the President for Georgia’s humiliating defeat at the hands of Russia last August. Mr.Saakashvili on his part has maintained that the protests show that Georgia’s democracy is flourishing and has refused to step down, calling for talks instead.
