President Salome Zurabishvili will address a rally in front of Georgia's parliament today to demand new elections. 

This will be the 25th day of continuous protests.  Last Saturday's protest was one of the largest in recent times, amid claims by the authorities that the rallies are on the decline and attract no more than 800 people. According to Visioner, at the peak of the rally, 186,835 people were on Rustaveli Avenue.
