Following Burchuladze’s address, opposition figure Murtaz Zodelava, who was presented as a member of the organisation committee of today’s action, said they would begin to retake control of state institutions. He then called for ‘male power’ to gather at a nearby park before they would ‘take the key’ to the presidential palace.

He also called for the parents of police officers to come and take home their sons.
