Details: Zurabishvili emphasized that today’s situation is very different from the one that developed after the 2020 parliamentary elections.
Direct speech: “[2020 року] there was no sense that the country was moving in a different direction, there was no sense of massive election fraud. There were, as always, what I call normal falsifications, and they laugh about it. But the feeling that the elections and the country were stolen from us did not exist. Today the situation is completely different. Whoever enters the parliament today will enter Russia.”
Details: The president emphasized that as long as no party enters the parliament, “Georgian Dream” will remain alone, even if the opposition is in boycott mode.
“They are alone. They are alone in the parliament, alone in the government. The one-party government, the parliament, the entire vertical of one person, and all existing institutions are completely dependent on this one party,” Zurabishvili said.
Prehistory:
- On November 20, in Georgia, the organizers of protests demanding repeat parliamentary elections decided to temporarily disband the participants of the action and develop a new plan of action.
- On the morning of November 19 in Georgia, the police dispersed a protest by the opposition, which protested against the results of the parliamentary elections. 16 people were detained.
- On November 16, a protest against the results of the parliamentary elections gathered under the building of the Georgian Central Committee. In addition, during the meeting, the head of the CEC was doused with black paint.
- Subsequently, the CEC nevertheless approved the results of the parliamentary elections, in which, according to the official results, the ruling party “Georgian Dream” won. At the same time, President Salome Zurabishvili announced her intention to challenge the results in the Constitutional Court.
- Meanwhile, statements are being made in the EU that if the “Georgian Dream” does not change its anti-democratic course, then Georgia will have no chance of rapprochement with the European Union.
