The PM referred to the rally on Rustaveli Avenue on May 12-13, following the police anti-drug raids in clubs.

It is also very important to state that out police has done its utmost to protect the safety of our citizens, of the protesters. We have seen the police which served the Georgian people and not a particular political force,” the PM said. 

Kvirikashvili said that the majority of the protesters also enabled police to carry out their duties.

When it comes to the drug police, we have promised that a relevant draft will be presented in parliament soon, which will make the current law more liberal to drug users, while tougher measures will be taken against drug dealers,” Kvirikashvili said.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia and the protesters agreed yesterday that the state should have a tough approach to the sale of drugs.
