On March 21, 2015, in Tbilisi’s Freedom Square, the main demand of the rally organized by the “United National Movement” was the resignation of the incumbent government of Georgia. The participants gathered in the capital’s main square held red cards in their hands as a symbol of warning to the authorities. The peaceful protesters accused the government of inaction, deterioration of the economic situation and the depreciation of the lari, as well as attempts to change the country’s political course.

A part of the protesters began their march from Rose Square and joined those gathered in Freedom Square. The leaders of the “United National Movement” addressed the crowd from a stage installed on Freedom Square. The leader of the “United National Movement,” Mikheil Saakashvili, joined via a live broadcast from Brussels, calling on the people to send the incumbent government home.

According to the leaders of the “United National Movement,” they were moving to a new stage in their struggle to change the government and did not rule out the possibility of early elections. Meanwhile, the Georgian authorities believed that it was not worth paying excessive attention to such demonstrations. The March 21 rally ended peacefully near the government chancellery after two hours and was not followed by further developments.
