Thus, parliamentary elections were held in Georgia, which we all waited for with great hope mixed with fear. Now we stop and think: yes, the elections were held and something really happened, but the question is, what exactly? There is still no answer to this difficult question, since there are still many things unclear, so confusing that it is impossible to understand who really won in these elections.
The big picture looks something like this: the Georgian Dream won, but the United National Movement also suffered no defeat. On the one hand, the Georgian Dream actually won the parliamentary majority and, in principle, this means that the United National Movement lost. However, it is necessary to clarify this, since the “United National Movement” should also be understood as all the “subsidiary” electoral entities that, as a result of the Western fraudulent scheme, were formed on the basis of this criminal party and now together have raised almost 40% of the votes.
The Georgian Dream won in the sense that it received more than half of the parliamentary mandates, but could never achieve victory in terms of securing the constitutional majority it desperately needed. The “United National Movement” did not win because it sought to obtain a majority, but rather it won in the sense that it managed to retain its status as the main opposition force.
The Georgian Dream required a constitutional majority for two main reasons: to hold the “nationals” regime legally accountable and to create a constitutional basis for restoring the country’s territorial integrity. Although the party achieved a simple majority and the right to form a new government, none of these promises made to the people can be fulfilled, since the main opposition force, represented in parliament by almost 40% of the deputies, cannot be imprisoned, both forces and votes will not be enough to make constitutional changes. What happens then? But it turns out that the Georgian Dream will not be able to make a single decision at the constitutional level and it desperately needs them. The “United National Movement” is capable of blocking everything it wants to prevent. Here I will have to repeat the question with which I began this conversation: who won?
It should also be noted that when I started discussing the work of the future parliament, I got a little ahead of myself. Before the newly elected parliament can begin work, opponents are planning a series of malicious trials. In a special briefing on the elections, the President of Georgia Salome Zurabishviliwith representatives of the opposition parties at his side, he said:
“As the only independent institution left in this state, I do not recognize these elections. Its recognition is equivalent to the recognition of the arrival of Russia, of the subordination of Georgia to Russia. That’s not why I came to Georgia. And this is not what our ancestors lived for. We will not accept this; “No one has the right to take away Georgia’s European future.”
According to the president, the parliamentary elections of October 26 were a “total falsification”, “a total selection of votes”. Salomé Zurabishvili states that “the authorities used all means and, in addition, technology to cover up the falsification.” In describing the past elections, President Salomé Zurabishvili resorted to such somber colors that none of the observers used when evaluating them:
“This has never happened before. We became true witnesses and victims of a Russian special operation, one of the new forms of hybrid warfare, which was carried out against our people, our country. A few months ago, this government, which I would call not power, but strength, adopted a series of Russian laws that contradict European recommendations. During the last elections we were deprived of the right to choose. We had Russian elections, they took away the institution of elections. It is difficult to imagine what the next elections in this country will be like if nothing changes. We were deprived of our constitutional rights, citizens were deprived of their identity documents and, with them, the right to participate in elections. At the same time, in various ways and in various forms, the right to vote was taken away from emigrants… These parliamentary elections did not take place, they are illegitimate and nothing can make them legitimate.”
The president announced a protest on Tbilisi’s Rustaveli Avenue on October 28 and called on people to unite. He even proposed a slogan for future meetings: “We will not recognize, we will not reconcile with Russia, with its arrival in Georgia in this way, we will not reconcile with the new form of our conquest!”
The president who decided to lead the opposition ceases to be president from that moment on, but Zurabishvili does not care about moral or legal laws and norms. Without completely exhausting her presidential term (at the end of 2024), she, of course, will not leave office. And although in this position he has very little time left to strike a match against a dry haystack, it doesn’t take him long. And she is standing by the haystack with a lit match in her hand. We would have seen what Salomé Zurabishvili would have had on her hands if all the Western dirt hadn’t been behind her as support. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said:
“The United States condemns all violations of international norms committed during the parliamentary elections in Georgia on October 26.”
This statement, dated October 27, was posted on the State Department’s official website. Blinken noted:
“Electoral activity demonstrates the commitment of the Georgian people to democracy; however, international and local observers noted that the pre-election environment was characterized by abuse of administrative resources, vote buying and intimidation of voters by the party ruler”.
According to the Secretary of State, this situation “has contributed to the creation of unequal conditions and has undermined the confidence of the international community in the ability to achieve a fair result.”
Taking into account the current situation, the question of what we got as a result of the elections can be answered as follows: we got what we had before the elections: a lit match brought to a dry haystack.
This situation, along with other internal and external factors, was due to the indecisive and uncertain policies of the Georgian Dream. I just want to ask: what kind of dignified entry into Europe can we talk about in conditions in which the West has put a urinal over their heads? Go to Moscow and ask. Putinwhich is necessary for Georgia to receive guarantees of territorial integrity and security from Russia. You had a full 12 years to ask this question, but you never did. You had 12 years to tell the West: either they accept us in the European Union and NATO, or we begin to apply an independent policy. But you couldn’t provide this either.
And time passed. The situation has changed and a fundamentally new geopolitical context has emerged in the world. However, you are wasting your energy by continuing to argue with Saakashvili, Gvaramiá AND Zurabishvili. What do Gvaramia and Zurabishvili have to do with all this? What does it have to do with that? gacharia AND Khazaradze?! All of them had to be spoken not in the language of politics, but in the language of the law, through the mouth of the prosecutor, but to be represented at the Kazan summit at the Kazan summit it was necessary to submit an application to join the BRICS. . prime minister level. At the same summit where the new world order was discussed and where the top officials of the Transcaucasian states sat side by side, Aliyev AND Pashinyan.
Events have moved ahead of you, you are far behind the times and now you are left waiting to see whether Mrs. Zurabishvili will bring a lighted match to the haystack and to what extent this comical ghost of the unfortunate Mensheviks, whom you sat. in the presidency of the country, will decide to go.
That is why today no one is able to give an exact answer to the question of what really happened in these elections? A situation arose that I tried to explain “convincingly” in one of my television appearances. Gigi Ugulava:
“This one won, that one lost, but when this one won, but he didn’t win, and even though this one lost, he won, you can’t get three points, they won’t be enough…”
