Mikheil Kavelashvili sworn in as Georgia's president

ai generated text

The inauguration of Mikheil Kavelashvili as President of Georgia was met with controversy as Salome Zourabishvili, the outgoing president, declared the election "illegitimate" and vowed to fight against the ruling Georgian Dream party. Despite this, Kavelashvili was sworn in at a parliamentary ceremony. Zourabishvili refused to hand over the keys to the palace to her successor, claiming to be the "only legitimate president". The disputed inauguration was preceded by a protest in Tbilisi, where at least 2,000 people gathered in support of the EU and in opposition to the Georgian Dream party.

    1. Our history clearly shows that, after countless struggles to defend our homeland and traditions, peace has always been one of the main goals and values for the Georgian people.
    2. The fear that Georgia may become a Russian proxy in the style of Belarus has been a key driver in bringing protestors onto the streets night after night in such vast numbers for a month now. Like Belarus, Georgia is currently governed by an illegitimate parliament, which in turn is controlled by a Russian puppet, Bidzina Ivanishvili.

    1. This building was a symbol only as long as a legitimate president was sitting here.
    2. This parody, which is currently being played out in parliament, is a genuine parody that the country has not deserved.

    1. The danger for Europe in allowing Russia to prevail is that it would embolden Vladimir Putin. This would ultimately have a destabilising effect on the European Union, and threaten the bloc's ambitions for further enlargement.
    2. Despite these relentless attacks on our freedoms, there remains the hope that this can still be turned around.
