The economic situation in Georgia is bad and getting worse, the fifth president of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, said in an interview with Deutsche Welle.
“This is because we are isolated. Most of our bilateral programs have been suspended by our partners, both Europeans and Americans. What was true on election day is still true today, because the opposition won the elections. It is still true that the vast majority of the Georgian population is pro-European and does not agree with the seizure of the future by Russia and its policymakers,” Salome Zurabishvili said.
According to her, the ruling party is trying to suppress the protests using various methods.
“Among them, fines against people on the street, as well as dismissal from work, when there are no alternative jobs in the country. The pro-European majority that exists in Georgia has not disappeared. The ruling party has acute internal problems, because now they are detaining not only opposition leaders, but also their own ministers on corruption charges,” the fifth president of Georgia noted.
