**Spanish Foreign Minister Speaks on Georgia Situation**
Spain’s Foreign Minister, José Manuel Álvarez Bueno, spoke about the situation in Georgia ahead of a meeting with European Union leaders. He expressed his regret over violence against peaceful protesters.
He said three main issues need attention: protecting the right to peaceful protest and free speech, which he feels was not respected; Georgia leaving its path towards joining the EU; and allegations of foreign interference in Georgian democracy and elections.
The Spanish minister thinks misinformation and election meddling are major threats to democratic countries like the EU.
