The organization will comprise the representative from the different trade places. The blanks for the membership of the organization have already been distributed to the rally participants.

The open market sellers plan to renew the protest rallies before the fulfillment of the open market trade requirements. According to them, the government left them without the daily bread. According to one of the open market sellers, Indira Tskhakaia, they don’t have any source for daily bread after the prohibition of the open market trade. They don’t have any income.

“The school is starting soon, and the children aren’t prepared. We have to pay for schooling. We don’t have any alternative sources for income. The children of the government representatives study abroad, and our children can’t even finish school here. We paid school fees by market business. It’s not fun for us to stand in the streets in 50 degree heat, cold, rain and wind. Cleanness, fountains and boulevards are good when people are not hungry. 5 star hotels are not built up for us, this is all for comfort of foreigners.” – stated Indira Tskhakaia, who will join the protest rallies in future as well.
