Levan Vasadze, the leader of political movement Unity, Essence, Hope, has urged the Government of Georgia to cancel Tbilisi Pride events between 1-5 July.

“The events, which aim to boost the public’s awareness of LGBT issues, will lead to destabilization like in previous years. We give time to the Government until June 25 to cancel the events, otherwise people will react to the government’s decision.

Tbilisi Pride events and march on Rustaveli Avenue in central Tbilisi on July 5 will not take place anyway because people will gather there and will not allow the anti-Christian and anti-Georgian activities”, - said Levan Vasadze.
