A protest rally took place yesterday, September 3, on Melikishvili Avenue, where Kakha Kaladze, the Georgian Dream candidate for Tbilisi mayor, officially opened his election headquarters.
The opening was met with demonstrations from citizens who chanted “Slaves, slaves!” and directed the same slogan personally at Kaladze. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, who attended the event, was also greeted with shouts from protesters.
Patrol police were mobilised at the scene and set up a cordon to prevent demonstrators from approaching the headquarters directly.

The tense gathering followed a separate confrontation a day earlier at the same location. That incident involved verbal exchanges between citizens and Georgian Dream MP Beka Odisharia, during which offensive language was used, including remarks about his health condition.
