Georgia, Tbilisi, Oct. 31 /Trend, N.Kirtskhalia/
A total of 14 non-governmental organizations held a joint action "We 99 percent" in front of the Parliament of Georgia.
The action is directed against terrorism, economic pressure and injustice, which the authorities carry out against 99 percent of the country's citizens, said one of its organizers, the head of the Union of Free Association Alexander Shalamberidze.
"This action will be the start of a large-scale public movement. Its goal is to raise all problems," said Shalamberidze. Along with this, the movement reminds the authorities that the solution to every problem is within the competence of the state, he said.
"We remind the officials that the state is a so-called agreement, which is concluded between citizens and government officials. The citizens are paying salaries to officials, and officials serve citizens," said Shalamberidze.
Recently, the state has lost its function of identity, the government does not protect its own citizens and does not provide the normal development of the society, said the protesters.
"Organizations, combined with the idea of movement, based on the specifics of their activities, raise problems, responsibility for which must be taken by the state. In our opinion, the Georgian society has divided into two parts - on the one hand - 99 percent of people whose problems are caused by the irresponsibility of the other one percent," say the organizers.
The movement brings together various non-governmental and civic organizations.
