Vote in Georgia: Iwanishwili or EU course? The dispute escalates!

Tiflis, Georgien - Tbilis (dpa) - in the southern Caucasian Republic of Georgia, on the border with Russia, is boiling after the controversial parliamentary elections! The ProWestlich Opposition and the national conservative government party argue violently for the preliminary election result, while allegations of violations of voting are rounded off. The richest man in the country, Bidsina Iwanischwili, and his party "Georgian Dream" claim victory, but the pro -European opposition is back!

The election commission announced after counting more than 70 percent of the votes that the government party received about 53 percent, while the pro -European parties come to around 38 percent. Nevertheless, the opposition President Salome Surabischwili claims that her coalitions were 52 percent and speaks of a political shame for Iwanish Wili! Despite the dispute among the opposition factions, they have joined together to fight against the supposed regime. The leader of the United National Movement, Tinatin Bokutschawa, explains combative that the election was manipulated by the government apparatus.

election fraud and manipulation?

The allegations are not without: Nika Gwaramia of the coalition for change speaks of a "constitutional state prank" and a abuse of the exercise of power. Hundreds of election observers speak of falsification of voters. Some NGOs, including the respected Transparency International, warn that the results do not reflect the real will of the citizens!

Around 3.5 million Georgians were called for election, and the participation was surprisingly 59 percent, i.e. three percentage points higher than 2020. Despite this mobilization, the backing for the election process is to be tested. In addition, the EU is forced to move: it put the accession process on hold due to the anti -European tendencies of Georgia. A test bench for the country that has to decide between the proximity to Russia and the pursuit of European integration! Political turbulence is inevitable!
