Opposition launches a permanent |
Despite the rain thousands keep the protest vigil in front of the Parliament. The protests against the mass ballot fraud and manipulation of election results have culminated in the demands for President Shevardnadze to resign.
“There is only on way out of this standstill: Shevardnadze must resign,” Mikheil Saakashvili said late on November 8, while addressing the crowd of around 20 thousand protesters.
He said that the opposition demands the new parliamentary elections and resignation of Eduard Shevardnadze.
“We will stay here and continue the protest rally until our demands are met,” Saakashvili said.
