  + stars: | 2024-12-16 | by ( Christian Edwards | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Twelve people have been found dead at a ski resort in the former Soviet country of Georgia, police said. The bodies of 11 Indian nationals and one Georgian citizen were discovered on the second floor above an Indian restaurant in Gudauri, the largest ski resort in the country, local police said in a statement issued Saturday. The 12 people all worked in the building where their bodies were found, the statement added. More than 300,000 international travelers visited the Gudauri resort in 2023, according to a local consulting firm. The resort’s parking lot sits at 7,200 feet (2,195 meters) – higher than the tops of many slopes in the Alps.

☆ Lawmakers in Georgia elect hardline critic of West as new president

Mikheil Kavelashvili reacts after he was elected the country's new president in the parliament, in Tbilisi, Georgia, on Dec. 14, 2024. Georgian lawmakers elected Mikheil Kavelashvili, a hardline critic of the West, as the country's new president on Saturday, setting him up to replace a pro-Western incumbent amid major protests against the government over a halt to the country's European Union accession talks last month. All opposition parties have boycotted parliament since an October election in which official results gave the ruling Georgian Dream party almost 54% of the vote, but which the opposition say was fraudulent. Outgoing President Salome Zourabichvili, a pro-EU critic of the ruling Georgian Dream party, has positioned herself as a leader of the protest movement and has said she will remain president after her term ends. Opposition parties have said they will continue to regard Zourabichvili as the legitimate president, even after Kavelashvili is inaugurated on Dec. 29.

☆ Georgian government votes in far-right former soccer player as president
  + stars: | 2024-12-14 | by ( Christian Edwards | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —Georgian lawmakers voted in a far-right former soccer star as the country’s next president on Saturday, amid mounting popular anger over the government’s halt to EU accession talks. Mikheil Kavelashvili, 53, is a former MP for the ruling Georgian Dream party and played for the English soccer team Manchester City during the 1990s. It is not clear how Georgian Dream will respond if Zourabichvili refuses to leave office. President Salome Zourabichvili walks outside the parliament building as deputies vote to elect a new president. Georgian Dream – already 12 years in office – claimed victory, but observers say the vote was neither free nor fair.
