**Georgians Protest Against Stolen Elections**
The leader of the “Coalition for Change“, Zurab Japaridze, said that Georgian citizens were denied their right to choose. He made this statement during a protest rally in Vake Park.
According to Japaridze, the recent elections were stolen and the people’s choice was taken away from them. The majority of Georgians wanted their country to join the European Union and NATO, but instead they are being turned into a “Russian choice”.
**No Giving Up**
Japaridze emphasized that the opposition will not give up fighting for freedom in Georgia. He said that they will continue to protest until their rights are respected.
He also rejected the claims of the ruling party, “Georgian Dream”, that the opposition will enter the Parliament. Japaridze called this claim “a joke” and said that no one is going to compromise with the current government.
**The Message**
Japaridze’s message was clear: Georgians are not going to get used to being ruled by a party that stole their choice. He addressed both the ruling party and Western friends, saying that most citizens will continue to fight for freedom in Georgia.
The protest rally, called “Return the vote!”, is planned to march in front of the Parliament building.
