Georgia’s recent parliamentary election has sparked outrage after reports of voting irregularities. President Salome Zourabichvili has called for protests, labeling the outcome a “Russian special operation.” The ruling party, Georgian Dream, won 54% of the vote, but opposition parties and monitors allege significant violations, including vote-buying and intimidation. The US and EU are demanding a thorough investigation into these allegations. They’re urging Georgia to respect the rule of law, repeal restrictive legislation, and address electoral flaws.
This disputed election threatens Georgia’s pro-Western stance and the EU’s expansion plans. Georgia has long opposed Russia’s support for breakaway regions. Georgia’s future hangs in the balance. Will the investigation bring clarity or escalate tensions?
