In the wake of recent elections in Georgia, President Biden has expressed deep alarm over what he describes as democratic backsliding and the influence of Russian laws. The elections have been marred by allegations of fraud and pressure on voters, leading to widespread protests as opposition leaders claim the vote was stolen. Thousands have rallied in support of the European future for Georgia, amid investigations into alleged election irregularities. The ruling party, perceived as pro-Russia, has claimed victory, further complicating the nation’s relationship with the West. Observers worldwide are raising red flags about the integrity of the elections, while experts warn that Georgia is drifting deeper into authoritarianism. The situation is evolving as the country braces for potential violence and a prolonged political standoff.
