One of Georgias largest opposition parties, the United National Movement joined the Parliament session today after a six-month boycott. The party MPs did not, however, join the plenary session of the 10th Convocation of the Georgian Parliament, as they have only arrived during the break. Besides, upon their arrival, the party members learned that the discussion of the controversial amnesty bill had been postponed:
If they postpone it tomorrow, I will come again the day after, and if it is postponed again, I will come again the next day, said the leader of the United National Movement party Nika Melia.
