**Georgia’s European Integration Process on Hold**
The country’s situation is dramatic, says Khatia Dekanoidze, a leader of the “Unity – National Movement”. Georgia’s European integration process has been frozen. This happened because of anti-Western propaganda and the attitude of the government led by Bidzina Ivanishvili.
**Elections Not Recognized as Fair**
The elections that took place recently were not evaluated as fair by international partners. The results were also disputed by the opposition, saying that they were a result of an organized criminal process.
**Importance of Not Giving Legitimacy to Parliament**
Khatia Dekanoidze stresses the importance of not giving legitimacy to the parliament and Bidzina Ivanishvili’s government. This is because when an election is not recognized by the free world, it is not a free election.
**No Relief Expected from Trump‘s Presidency**
Dekanoidze does not think that the new administration under President Trump will be a relief for Bidzina Ivanishvili and his government. The composition of the new administration has already been named, and she believes it will not help Georgia.
**International Investigation Requested**
The opposition is asking for an international investigation into the elections. Dekanoidze says that this requires multi-participation, including the opposition, and fair, new elections.
**Sealing of Voting Machines Seen as Proof of Election Falsification**
Dekanoidze also comments on the decision of the Prosecutor’s Office to seal voting machines. She sees this as proof that the elections are still being falsified. The sealing of the machines and the destruction of technological data prove this, she says.
