YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Pro-EU protesters took to the streets in Georgia on Saturday (14 Dec. 2024) as an electoral college dominated by the ruling party chose a new president known for his vehement anti-West views and opposition to LGBTQ rights. Former soccer star Mikheil Kavelashvili received 224 votes out of a possible 300 from the electoral college. He was the only candidate in the election, which the opposition boycotted and has said it will not not recognize, insisting that current President Salome Zourabichvili remain the legitimate head of state.
