European Journal | Georgia: Opposition on the Move

Georgia's political opposition is enjoying rising popularity. Under pressure from weeks of protests,President Mikheil Saakashvili gave in and spoke to protest leaders. One of the movement's leading figures is songwriter Giorgi Gachechladze. His brother stood for election opposing Saakashvili. Giorgi is mobilizing the masses,for exsample with a radio show critical of the government,during which he locks himself in a cell. We accompanied him on a protest march from Tblisi to Western Georgia.
