He became the first foreign leader to visit Georgia since Saturday’s election, which the country’s election commission said was won by the ruling Georgian Dream party.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who arrived in Georgia, supported the country’s ruling party, saying its victory in parliamentary elections was free and democratic. AP wrote this on Tuesday, October 29.
Orban met with his counterpart, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, and congratulated him on the victory of the Georgian Dream party.
“I look at the debate surrounding the elections, I read the assessments of international organizations and I see that no one dared to doubt that these elections were a free and democratic choice,” Orban said.
According to him, the opposition and the ruling party in Georgia are “focused on the unification of Europe.”
“By following a pro-European policy, you did not allow your country to become a second Ukraine,” Orban said, calling on Kobakhidze to ignore any criticism of the elections.
At the same time, the Georgian president and the opposition said that the elections were “stolen” with the help of Russia. They said there was widespread fraud and violence in the election. The EU and US have called for an investigation. Salome Zurabishvili called on the West to put “strong pressure” on the ruling Georgian Dream party to “reconsider the election results and return the stolen votes.”
Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said the country’s government will be confirmed, despite the opposition’s refusal to recognize the results of the parliamentary elections.
