Students hold a speech in Astoria K'alak'i
Astoria K’alak’i, Stormereti - As the six-month time window set by Transparent Hobrazia, a Hobrazian anti-corruption organisation, runs out, the organisation, in cooperation with Hobrazian university students, has begun taking the matter into their own hands. Spontaneous protests organised by various student organisations have broken out across the country.
While the protests are very decentralised, most of them have united under the representation of the newly formed National Council of Youth Against Corruption. The main objective of the NCYAC is to be a united voice for all the local student organisations and to achieve the overall goal of resignations of rector of State University of Astoria K’alak’i Tamazi Balavadze, Minister of Education and Science Tamazi Shervashidze, and chief of Anti-corruption Department of the Hobrazian Police Ioseb Khutsishvili.
For the first time since the beginning of the affair, Konstantine Mzhavanadze, President of Hobrazia and thus head of government, has given a statement regarding the scandal. President Mzhavanadze has proceeded to state that no resignations will be made, that the whole affair is overblown, and that the students are supported by foreign actors and domestic opposition. While the governing National Unity Party has quickly adopted this rhetoric, the main opposition parties, the Liberal Party and the People's Socialist Party, have stated that while they support the students, they aren't otherwise involved.
Students also enjoy popularity among various other Hobrazian civil societies and associations, like the National Dramatic Society, Medical Association of Hobrazia, Association of Hobrazian Artists, and several famous writers, actors, and other artists.
On the legal front, Transparent Hobrazia and NCYAC have proceeded to file a lawsuit against rector Balavadze and other university staff involved, as well as minister Shervashidze. However, according to some, this might be just a mainly symbolic gesture, as both TH and NCYAC accuse the Hobrazian judicial system of being tied and aligned with the ruling party.
