On October 26, 2024, Georgia held a pivotal election that has significant implications for our nation's future. The ruling party, Georgian Dream, has claimed victory with 54.2% of the vote, according to preliminary results. However, many of us who voted for a European future are deeply concerned about the integrity of the electoral process. Opposition parties have raised serious questions about alleged election irregularities, including vote manipulation and intimidation.

We believe in a democratic Georgia aligned with European values of freedom, transparency, and human rights. It is our right to protect our future and ensure that our voices are heard.
