**Georgia‘s “Georgian Dream” Chooses President Candidate**
The ruling party in Georgia, “Georgian Dream“, has chosen Mikheil Kavelashvili as their candidate for president. Bidzina Ivanishvili, the Honorary Chairman of the party, made the announcement.
**What This Means**
This decision is being seen as a sign that the ruling party is taking control of all branches of government. The chairman of Estonia’s Foreign Relations Committee, Marko Mihelson, has said that this move completes Georgia’s state capture and turns it into an anti-Western dictatorship.
**Ivanishvili Speaks**
Bidzina Ivanishvili stated that the new president will be inaugurated on December 29. He claimed that from then on, the country will see an end to “gross practices of betrayal” and the “systematic violation of the constitution”.
