Nino Burjanadze, a former parliamentary chairperson and leader of Democratic Movement-United Georgia, said that the opposition should take “more serious and effective actions” to achieve President Saakashvili’s resignation.

“It does not mean unconstitutional methods, but it means much more effective and much more active moves,” she told journalists on April 30. “It is necessary to become more active to make the President, who is deaf and fails to properly assess the situation, to hear the voice of his people better.”
