Georgia Votes in Crucial Parliamentary Elections

News summary

Georgia is holding a pivotal parliamentary election that could significantly influence its future direction regarding EU membership and relations with Russia. Pro-European President Salome Zurabishvili has expressed confidence in the election's potential to shape the nation's future, as around 3.5 million voters participate. The ruling Georgian Dream party, led by billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, seeks a fourth consecutive term and aims to solidify its power by potentially banning the main opposition party, the United National Movement. Controversial legislation, including a foreign agent law, has sparked mass protests and raised concerns about the country's democratic integrity. The elections are occurring amidst a backdrop of government actions perceived as authoritarian, with significant public support for closer ties to Europe. Results are expected late on Saturday evening, with international observers monitoring the electoral process.
