Georgia’s opposition disputes result of crucial vote which could decide the country’s role in Europe
NBCOCT 20 2024
The Georgian people voted this year to end the current pro-Russia regime. As fears of a Russian invasion grow, and 70% of the country supports joining the EU, it makes sense that Vladimir Putin would attempt to put his finger on the scale and rig this election. Due to these genuine fears, on top of reports of ballot stuffing and violence, the country must double-check the vote count and see if Moscow did indeed influence the results.
The Western establishment is forcing this recount because it doesn't like how popular Georgian Dream is. Even an opposition-led parallel vote count found that Georgian Dream was leading in the polls, but that doesn't matter to Brussels and its pro-war leaders. Georgian voters support two main policies the EU can't stand to bear: ending the war in Ukraine and promoting traditional family values.
