Georgia is gearing up for a crucial parliamentary election that could determine its future path towards European integration. The ruling Georgian Dream party, led by Bidzina Ivanishvili, faces a coalition of opposition parties in a contest that has captured the attention of the nation.
With polls indicating strong public support for joining the European Union, the election has become a battleground for competing visions of Georgia's geopolitical orientation. Georgian Dream, which initially promised EU membership, has faced criticism for its authoritarian tendencies and alignment with Moscow.
