Parliamentary elections in Georgia were held amid brawls
Videos of fights near polling stations in Tbilisi, Zugdidi and the village of Kiziladzhlo in the Dmanisi district are circulating online. Pro-Russian activists are fighting with opposition supporters in front of the parliament.
Polling stations have closed in Georgia. President Salome Zurabishvili has published the results of exit polls, which show the opposition winning. She wrote on the social network X: “European Georgia wins with 52% of the votes, despite attempts to falsify the elections and without the votes of the diaspora… Georgia has demonstrated democracy, Europeanness and maturity… I am proud and confident in our European future!”
Meanwhile, as local media write, the ruling Georgian Dream launched a festive fireworks display in Tbilisi, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has already congratulated the party on its “confident victory in the parliamentary elections.”
