The
2024 Georgian wittenmoot wale has been called out as having been marked
by foul play and being under the sway of Russia. The foresitter of
Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili, has said she will not abide by the
outcome of the wale and called for crowds to gather in Tbilisi against
what she has called "full on theft."
Georgia's wittenmoot has 150 seats, and the Georgian Dream wieldcraft
fold won nearly 54% of the wale giving them 89 seats. Foresitter
Zourabichvili was a former friend of the Georgian Dream fold, but now
has called them out for becoming tighter with Russia rather than the EU
and being underhanded amid the wale.
Up until now, the foresitter of Georgia has always been chosen straight
from the folks of Georgia. But starting in 2024, the foresitter will be
chosen by the wittenmoot. Given that foresitter Zourabichvili has been
drifting away from the Georgian Dream fold, she could have much to lose
if they are overseeing the foresitter wale when it happens only 45 days
after the wittenmoot wale.
