The EU thinks the wrong party won in Georgia and then suddenly election denialism is in vogue.
The European Union is sowing doubt about the election outcome in Georgia, partaking in election denialism, and eroding trust in democracy through conspiracy theories. Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán arrived in the country to thank the Georgians for voting in an anti-war conservative party.
The Hungarian prime minister said at the press conference on Tuesday held in Tbilisi, alongside victorious incumbent Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidzeon of the Georgian Dream party, that no one dares to question that the elections in Georgia were free and democratic, pointing to OSCE election monitors, who noted the election went normally and without serious incident.
“I congratulate the prime minister on his election victory. I look at the debate that has erupted around the election, I read the evaluations of international organizations, and I see that nobody dares to question that this election was a free and democratic choice. With all the critical comments, no one dares to go so far, and they do it well,” said Orbán.
