The Against Everyone party carried out another symbolic action as part of its election campaign, this time “kicking rats” outside the Armenian government building.

Earlier, party members had staged actions involving “beating water,” “throwing mud at all parties,” and “placing a soft pillow under the people’s heads.”

According to Sputnik Armenia, party members installed a small football goal in front of the building and brought soft toy rats to the scene.

“We are the only force here that will not receive a salary or bonus for ‘kicking rats.’ What is happening here now reflects our reality. One moment they announce that someone in a political force holds a foreign passport, then suddenly you see that terrorists are members of parliament. All of this is exactly the process of ‘kicking rats,’” said party member Ishkhan Gevorgyan.

The first toy rat during the action was “kicked” by another party member dressed in a Spider-Man costume, immediately scoring a goal. Before that, police officers stationed near the government building had not intervened.

The Against Everyone party is campaigning on a proposal for a 100-day transitional government followed by new elections.

After the action began, police officers approached party members and urged them not to conduct the event at that location. Party member Hovsep Ghazaryan objected.

“This is our election campaign, and we are conducting a political action within its framework. The police tell us we did not notify them, but this is an election period and no notification is required. They say we are disrupting the government’s work, as if something serious is happening here, and our ‘rat-kicking’ is disturbing their own ‘rat-kicking,’” Ghazaryan said.

Shortly afterward, police officers removed the goalpost, after which party members began kicking a computer mouse in different directions instead.

Earlier in the day, Ishkhan Gevorgyan said during a Facebook livestream that party members had held another symbolic action in the Arabkir district by distributing tan and matsun to citizens “against the poison of hatred.”
