Georgia is at a crucial crossroads in the recent election, where the ruling Georgian Dream party led by Bidzina Ivanishvili secured a projected victory. The opposition, backed by pro-EU sentiments, framed the election as a choice between Europe and Russia, highlighting concerns over democratic backsliding and foreign influence laws. The ruling party's promises of a "pragmatic" Russia policy resonated with some voters, emphasizing stability and peace. However, reports of election violations and violence raise concerns about the electoral process. The outcome of the election will not only shape Georgia's future path in Europe but also its geopolitical orientation, potentially influencing relationships with neighboring Russia.
