An interesting event at the demonstration today- food for thought
A young student addressed a manifestation today in front of the Parliament. Shota Adamashvili, a journalism student from Tbilisi State University. He criticized Gia Maisashvili, one of the opposition leaders who publicly cursed Saakashvili two days ago. The student was booed of the stage as some of the opposition leaders called his intervention a "provocation." Another leader stated that "young people of that age should not teach us what to do"
The video is here. This incident raises many serious and profound questions as very well expressed by my young people on Facebook.
Are opposition leaders more tolerant to different opinions that the government? Is Georgian society, maybe, not in general receptive to diversity of opinions or was this incident the result of a mob effect? Is Georgian opposition willing to listen to youth? These are some of the questions to be addressed and thought about.
