The Environment Committee will discuss developments around Botanical garden today. NGOs will also attend the session. The main issue is the change of borders of the Botanical Garden and sale of 29 hectares of land.

NGOs hope that the meeting will be attended by the responsible officials, the Mayor and the Minister of culture .

Part of the majority links this to the pre-election campaign.

"It is obvious that the issue has a pre-election smell. It needs to be studied and I am in favor of the City Hall to be summoned, and explain the legality of their actions," - said the Republican Party member Levan Berdzenishvili.

The majority positively assesses the sale of the Botanical Garden surrounding territory and the decison to develop this area.

National Movement say that the Ivanishvili is satisfying his personal wishes .

"Ivanishvili is busy fulfilling his personal whims, tweaking trees and taking them home, he has attached to his residence an important part of the botanical garden. This is an insult to our community," - said Giorgi Kandelaki.
