    About our Georgia news

    Latest news on Georgia, providing coverage of political crisis, constitutional disputes, EU integration, protests and power struggle between government and opposition.

    Georgia, a strategic nation of 3.7 million people at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, is experiencing a severe constitutional crisis following disputed parliamentary elections in October 2024. The crisis has escalated with the controversial inauguration of a new president and growing tensions between the government and opposition forces.

    The ruling Georgian Dream party, led by billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, claimed victory in the October parliamentary elections with 53.93% of the vote, but the results were rejected by President Salome Zourabichvili and major opposition parties who cited widespread irregularities. The crisis deepened when Parliament self-convened without presidential approval and the government announced a suspension of EU accession negotiations until 2028. In December, the disputed Parliament elected Mikheil Kavelashvili as the new president, though Zourabichvili maintains she remains the legitimate president.

    The ongoing crisis has sparked continuous protests across Georgia, with reports of police violence and systematic torture of demonstrators. Civil society has been significantly impacted, with mass resignations of government officials, including 49 employees from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and dismissals of public sector workers critical of the government. The crisis has particularly affected Georgian citizens' aspirations for closer ties with Europe, as the government's actions appear to contradict the country's constitutional commitment to European integration.

    Constitutional experts, including Vakhtang Khmaladze, one of the authors of Georgia's current constitution, have declared both the parliamentary election and subsequent presidential election illegitimate. The crisis represents the most significant challenge to Georgia's democratic institutions since independence, with implications for its relationship with both the European Union and Russia.
