**People Defy Ministry‘s Orders**
The Georgian government has tried to stop people from protesting, but thousands have shown up anyway. Giorgi Vashadze, a member of the country‘s parliament, said that the people will not be silenced.
“We are united and defending our homeland,” he declared. “The more we protest, the quicker we can bring an end to this regime.”
This statement shows that many Georgians are determined to make their voices heard. They are calling for change, and they are not giving up.
