Level of violence from protesters against bill on transparency of foreign influence significantly reduced - Prime Minister

The level of violence from protesters against bill on transparency of foreign influence significantly reduced. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

“Briefings, warnings and appeals made on Sunday had played a role in this processes. I would like to once again call on protesters to refrain from violence and other illegal actions.

I also want to thank law enforcement for responding to violence and illegal actions of protesters during the rallies with an essentially higher standard than the US and European standards. I can show you videos of what is happening in New York, Rotterdam, Berlin or Paris. The American standard is lower than this - we want a higher standard than the US and European ones.

Several incidents had been recorded at today’s rally, the police response had been fully in line with the American and European standards of response to violence, it did not reach the standards established by the Georgian Dream in Georgia after 2012”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
