If there are not enough people to block the street, participants must respect the interests of the majority - Kobakhidze

While everyone can express their protest within the framework of the law, both domestic legislation and international standards emphasized one principle - if a protest lacks sufficient representation, participants must respect the interests of the majority, said today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

"Our legislation has long stated, in line with international standards, that if the number of people is insufficient to block a street, they must respect other members of society and not obstruct the road.

However, as you can see, fines were previously in place, and they were not fully effective. Accordingly, amendments are being introduced to both administrative and criminal law to ensure that the largest minority does not impose its will on the largest majority - this is an expression of the principles of democracy", - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
