The President of Georgia draws a parallel between the elections in Georgia and those in Romania and the Republic of Moldova

January 2, 2025

In a post on the social network X, the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, warns about Calin Georgescu. She says that he is yet another satellite of Russia, who makes the same campaign promises, referring to the statement of the candidate for Cotroceni related to the disappearance of political parties, if he becomes president.     The message from the Georgian president comes in the context of people having been on the streets in his country’s capital for five days. There are violent protests after the new government decided to stop the country’s pro-European course.   At least 26 people were injured in the street clashes. They demanded the resignation of the Government and Parliament. Georgians fired fireworks and firecrackers at the Parliament building. Masked men immediately intervened with water cannons to disperse the crowd.   The Georgian premier said, “We remember the stalled negotiations in 2021, then we were forced to leave the constitutional framework. Of course, the opposition does not have the resources for this today. Our proposal is open to public discussion.”   In opposition, the Georgian president says that leaders backed by the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party should see the protests as a wake-up call from the population. “A government that is not considered legitimate by the population is making a 180-degree turn from the direction we were on, towards European integration, towards Russia,” the Georgian president said. The first protests took place in Georgia in late October when the pro-Russian party won the legislature.
