Georgia protests coup by ruling party Georgian Dream: Viktor Orban booed as he visited the capital

—

There were protests across Georgia yesterday, as the ruling party, Georgian Dream remained in power despite losing the parliamentary elections to the pro-European opposition, United National Movement.

Hungarian President Viktor Orban was quick to support the fraudulent election results and the like-minded pro-Russian Georgian Dream by visiting the capital, Tbilisi. Viktor Orban’s motorcade was booed by protestors who took over the streets in numbers.

The President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili, who is leading the protest movement and is seen as a unifying pro-European voice, is calling on foreign governments not to recognise the incumbent government.
