Participants of the Mothers’ March joined the protesters on Rustaveli Avenue near the Georgian Parliament, Interpressnews reports.
They were greeted with a standing ovation.
Earlier, the marchers gathered near the Rustaveli metro station, from where they marched to the Georgian Parliament building.
They are holding banners with the inscription: “Hands off, this is my child”, as well as the flags of Georgia and the European Union.
The protesters near the parliament building are protesting the presidential elections taking place in the legislative body of Georgia.
They brought diplomas and footballs with them.
According to them, the presidential elections are an illegitimate process.
Today, the electoral college in the Georgian Parliament is electing the sixth president of the country.
The only candidacy being considered is Mikheil Kavelashvili, a former football player who did not receive a higher education.
The opposition does not participate in the work of the parliament and has not nominated its candidates.
Earlier, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili called the presidential elections a “parody” and a “provocation.” Like the opposition, she considers the parliament illegitimate. Zurabishvili does not intend to resign until new parliamentary elections are held in the country.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said that Zurabishvili will still have to “retire” after Kavelashvili’s inauguration on December 29.
