No Maidan for Georgia.

 GEORGIAN PARLIAMENT TAKES CONTROL OF UNREST

CURRENT PRESIDENT TO EXIT DEC. 16, 2024

The attempt to overthrow the government of Georgia seems to be near an end. The Dream Party recently received the winning votes with 54 % of the vote. The current president Salome Zourabichvili term ends on Dec. 16th and will be replaced by a new president elected by Parliament on Dec. 14, 2024. The French born president and former part of the Macron government says she will not leave office as she claims that the election was fraudulent. She wants another election and has the support of her backers in the EU. It looks like Parliament is firm on their commitment to have her removed at the end of her term. The Parliament has suspended talks about joining the EU until 2028.

This may be the end of a period of unrest and uncertainty in Georgia. Last year the Parliament introduced a law that would require all political organizations who receive over 25 % foreign funds to be required to  disclose all these funds and sources. It is similar to laws in the U.S. that have existed for near 100 years. This law resulted in rioting in Georgia, threats of sanctions from the EU and U.S. and the parliament withdrew the law. The Parliament then did their homework and disclosed all the sources of foreign money flowing into the political system of Georgia.

The Parliament then reintroduced a revised law that passed overwhelmingly, the President vetoed the law, but the Parliament had the votes to override her veto. This likely had a great effect on the results of the election.

Much of the money came from the EU, the U.S. and other western governments and it verified what many believed was the process of bringing about revolution in Georgia, much like what was orchestrated in Ukraine in 2014. This strategy has been thoroughly exposed and will soon be of little effect in the future.

During the current election the younger generation was more inclined to join the EU, but the older generation feared becoming a replay of Ukraine. Many of these former Soviet countries have been convinced to replace the autocrats in the former Soviet Union with the autocrats in Brussels. It often becomes apparent that this move is not always in the best interest of the people, but is attractive to the elite ruling class. EU regulations often end much of the traditional industry and business  and force the younger generation to move to the EU's bigger cities, leaving the rural areas in decline populated by the elderly.

An example is the Baltic region where EU rules ended the traditional fishing industry and closed the existing electrical generation plants, ending jobs and forcing them to buy expensive electric power.

One would think that these new democracies would strive to chart their own future, rather be subservient to the ruling class in Brussels that forces economic, cultural and social regulations that are not in the best interest of their country.
