Georgia’s President Speaks Out on Elections
The president of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, recently spoke about the country‘s elections. She said they were not fair and that Russia was involved.
Zurabishvili is very clear: she says she is still the only real president of Georgia. The ruling party says a new president has taken office, but Zurabishvili disagrees.
The president believes that the election was rigged by Russia. She thinks this is part of Russia’s strategy to get back control over Georgia and the surrounding region.
Zurabishvili described Russia’s plan as “hybrid”. This means it includes many different parts: spreading false information, influencing people with money, using friends in high places, and more. The goal is to bring countries like Georgia under Russian control again.
