Georgia president accuses Russia of meddling in polls; Kremlin denies
Georgia's president on Monday urged the West to support opposition protests of the official results of a weekend parliamentary election in which the governing party was declared victorious amid voting irregularities and allegations of Russian meddling.
President Salome Zourabichvili, who refused to recognize the official results, told AP that the South Caucasus nation has fallen victim to Russian pressure aimed at derailing Georgia's plans to join the European Union.
«We've seen that Russian propaganda was directly used,» said Zourabichvili, a fierce critic of Georgian Dream, the governing party. She said the government has been «working hand-in-hand with Russia,» and «probably» received help from Moscow's security services.
EU Commission spokeswoman Nabila Massrali said Monday that Georgian Dream's election campaign was «directly inspired» by Russian propaganda and there were «unprecedented levels of disinformation.»
On Sunday, Zourabichvili stood alongside opposition leaders and urged Georgians to join a rally on the main street of the capital, Tbilisi, on Monday night to protest what she called a «total falsification, a total stealing of your votes.»
