Mass Protests Erupt in Georgia Over Alleged Election Fraud
Thousands of pro-European demonstrators rallied in Tbilisi, Georgia, on November 4, to protest the results of the October 26 parliamentary elections, which they claim were marred by organized fraud. The ruling party, Georgian Dream, has been accused of steering the country toward authoritarianism and increasing ties with Russia, contradicting its stated pro-European stance. President Salomé Zourabichvili criticized the electoral process, linking it to a ‘Russian methodology’ of fraud. The opposition has called for daily protests and demanded fresh elections amid warnings from the EU and the US about irregularities in the vote.
