Georgia's Pivotal Election Amid EU Accession Freeze

News summary

Georgians are voting in a pivotal parliamentary election that will determine whether the country aligns more closely with the European Union or Russia. Despite 80% of Georgians supporting EU membership, the ruling Georgian Dream party, which has shifted towards pro-Russian policies, faces criticism for enacting laws perceived to stifle media freedom and civil rights. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze denies Russian influence and emphasizes a choice between war and peace. The election is characterized by deep polarization and fears that a Georgian Dream victory could end EU aspirations. Meanwhile, the EU has frozen Georgia's accession process due to controversial laws passed by the government. This election is seen as a critical moment in Georgia's political trajectory, with potential coalition government formations if no party wins decisively.
