Back to Russia's orbit? Georgia's EU bid on hold amid claims of 'stolen' election

François PICARD | Alessandro XENOS | Rebecca GNIGNATI | Marika MIKIASHVILI | Hans GUTBROD | Lasha OTKHMEZURI | Christine DUGOIN-CLEMENT

Edité par France 24 - 2024

His side's campaign employed the "look what happened to Ukraine" argument, warning against alienating the Kremlin. What next for Georgia?

And what next for the rest of the former Soviet space? A lot, of course, hinges on Ukraine. From 2008 to the present, is Putin by increments fulfilling his dream of recreating a greater Russia? On that score, what to make of Hungary’s illiberal leader Viktor Orban rushing in to offer his congratulations to the winners in Tbilisi?

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Ilayda Habip. 

Note

  • Could the nation that back in 2008 fought a war against Vladimir Putin be giving up on its EU dream? Packed crowds are massing outside Georgia’s parliament to protest what the pro-Western president calls a stolen election. We scrutinise Saturday's vote, which gave another outright majority to the Georgian Dream party of billionaire former prime minister Bidzina Ivanishvili.
