Today, the "Parliament" is "electing" the "only" candidate, which is an insult to democracy – this will never stop Georgia’s European path and democratic future! This is what the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, wrote on social media.

"One year ago, Georgia received candidate status, and today, a 'Parliament' similar to the Central Election Commission is 'electing' the 'only' candidate, which is an insult to democracy. This will never stop Georgia’s European path and democratic future!" – writes the President of Georgia.

In addition, the President writes that the Christmas tree in Tbilisi is being protected by the police and is "under arrest."

"The Christmas tree, which is a symbol of the police state that 'Georgian Dream' is trying to turn Georgia into, is being protected and 'arrested' by the police," writes Salome Zurabishvili.
