DISINFO: The elections in Georgia are a legitimisation of a pre-planned scenario by Western partners
SUMMARY
Do you remember that the results of any of the [Georgian] elections did not match the results of the “qualified surveys” conducted by our foreign “partners”, “friends” and “other benefactors” before the elections? The difference is always from 1% to 3%.
So why do we [Georgia] hold elections and spend so much money if their [Western partners] “research” is 99% consistent with our “election results”? It can have only one purpose – to legitimise the plan already written by the above-mentioned “partners”.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Western involvement in internal affairs, including elections, as well as grass-roots protests in many states, especially the ones of the former Soviet Union. Parliamentary elections in Georgia were held on October 31, 2020.
The disinformation claim appeared in the pre-election period days before the election day in Georgia, as a prior attempt to frame the election results as a previously planned scenario orchestrated from abroad. No evidence is provided to support the allegations.
The European Union stands by a democratic, stable, prosperous and inclusive Georgia and continues to support Georgia’s process of political association and economic integration with the EU as per its Association Agreement.
