#Georgia

37 posts29 participants4 posts today

Saturday will be a day of sorrow.

#Georgia’s heroine of democracy, President Salome Zourabichvili, will be replaced. Not because she is not popular — she was elected by the people.

But the ruling parliament has voted to remove the people’s right to vote. Instead, the president will now be chosen by an electoral college, in which 211 out of 300 members belong to the Putin faithful nightmare party ironically named “Georgian Dream”.

A Putin puppet will win.
The Georgian people will lose.

President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili affirmed her commitment to staying in office during a press briefing, emphasizing the need for legitimate leadership in the country during this critical moment.

“I’m here, and I will remain here because this country urgently needs a legitimate institution. If anyone in this country truly wants peace, if anyone wants to emerge from this crisis victorious in any form, there is only one path forward—elections."

Georgian Parliamentary Democracy, Georgian Dream style.

In a nutshell, because the opposition parties refuse to attend parliament after an illegitimate election, the ruling Georgian Dream party is splitting itself in half to create two parties so it looks like they have an opposition in parliament.

And the punchline is that the new "People's Power" pretend opposition party is even more right wing and more pro-Russian than the government.

But everything's fine....

"This is not even funny anymore. The so-called “People’s Power Party" who officially left Georgian Dream Party (GD) after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine to “criticize the West more openly,” rejoined GD for the elections and ran on their list.

Now, they are declaring that they’re leaving GD once again to create a “healthy opposition.”

Mikheil Kavelashvili, GD's presidential candidate, is a member of “People’s Power.”

SHUTDOWN BIOLAB!

The board of commissioners have let BioLab reopen after poisoning Conyers residents! BioLab’s owners should be in prison, but they face no consequences. Corporations like BioLab might have the politicians of both major Parties in their pocket, but the people have the power to make change.
