National Movement supporters have made some provocative steps and tried to disrupt those meetings. “National Movement supporters tried to provoke us while we met with local residents. It is noteworthy that they are always drunk whenever they appear at our meetings. They behaved very aggressively and physical confrontation took place as well. They tried to disrupt our meetings but all in vain,” Kaladze said.
According to Kaladze, the coalition is waiting for the July 15th rally which is to be held in Gori and it will become evident how many supporters they have in the Shida Kartli region. “We will have a large-scale rally and Akhalaia (the newly appointed Interior Minister) will not disperse it.
