As the Olympics ended, Georgian elections – a national sport of a sort – entered full force in Georgia’s daily life. Planned for October 26, 2024, these Parliamentary elections decide too many important issues – whether Georgia will stay isolated, whether authoritarian decline can be stopped, whether oligarchic rule continues, and whether the Russian law on foreign agents remains in force. Much like the Olympics, the emotions will be high as the Georgian Dream tackles four primary opposition parties.
The choice has never been so stark for Georgia - a decadent oligarch without any regard for European values against a mix of pro-Western opposition parties. With the Georgian Dream’s win, the ominous policies of destroying political opponents, civil society, and the media will be implemented. With the opposition’s win, Georgia’s progress on the European integration path can be unlocked.
