This year, Georgian Dream pushed through a Kremlin-style “foreign agent” law, which critics say aims to shut down watchdogs who call the government to account.
She described some of the statements made by Georgian Dream officials as a “copy-paste” of those from Stalin’s show trials.
‘Soviet mentality’A question puzzling many is why the formerly center-left Georgian Dream has made a sudden authoritarian pivot.
Joining the EU would require cleaning up the country’s judiciary and giving up power if Georgian Dream is voted out on Saturday.
