Students with posters with captions “Dream is killing our dream” gathered near the building [Georgian Dream is the ruling party of Georgia – ed.].

In addition to this, the participants marched from the building of the Parliament to the Public Service Hall in Tbilisi.

The protesters stated that the protest next to the Public Service Hall is symbolic since in case the bill is adopted, this institution will become the body which will conduct monitoring to detect the agents of foreign influence.
