Opposition Plans ‘Large-Scale’ Rally during Biden’s Visit

Opposition parties plan to hold a large-scale rally when U.S. Vice President, Joe Biden, visits Georgia in late July.

Opposition leaders, who met on June 29, said that the move aimed at demonstrating to the international community that protest in Georgia is not waning.

“We should organize a large-scale rally to also demonstrate to the world and not only to the Americans that the Georgian people are strongly determined to democratic aspirations, to get the country back on democratic track and to demonstrate our pro-western stance,” Salome Zourabichvili, leader of Georgia’s Way party, said.

White House said last week that the Vice President would visit Georgia and Ukraine on July 20-24 to demonstrate U.S. support “for continued democratic and economic reforms” in the two countries.
