Six people were detained during clashes at a rally against the government’s economic policy outside the old parliament building in Tbilisi on Thursday.

Free Zone, an activists group which supports the National Movement, demonstrated against the government’s economic policy against the background of the monetary crisis in recent months.

They were confronted by the youth movement Free Generation, which supports Georgian Dream coalition.

National Movement members Giga Bokeria and Goka Gabashvili were leaving the parliament building when members of Free Generation began arguing with them. The situation turned into a physical confrontation. As a result, six Free Generation members, including the group’s leader Lado Sadghobelashvili, were detained.
