The country is holding elections that could decide whether it tilts towards Moscow or Brussels. Observers fear that violence may follow
There are two types of election posters adorning billboards in downtown Tbilisi. The first, for the ruling Georgian Dream party, has the colour and stars of the EU flag, vaunting Georgia’s destiny as an EU member. The second type is also for GD, since almost no sites were made available to opposition parties in the centre of the city.
Pro-democracy NGOs are scrambling to send observers to more than 3,000 polling stations. Yet GD’s control of the central election commission and judiciary are fuelling suspicions that it will fix the vote. Georgia has a history of democratically elected leaders turning autocratic before they are removed from power. Eduard Shevardnadze was toppled in the Rose Revolution in 2003.
