A gathering of approximately 60,000 Georgians took to the streets yesterday, demanding the resignation of President Mikheil Saakashvili.
Many critics believe that Saakashvili hasn’t lived up to the promises he made during his campaign and that he doesn’t deserve to continue his presidency until 2013.
Many protestors spent the night in front of the parliament and central Rustaveli Avenue in the nation’s capital of Tbilisi.
“Saakashvili and his administration have put the country in a very grave situation,” said protestor Temur Nizharadze, according to Reuters. “The whole population is demoralized. The whole nation is worried.”
