When President Salome Zourabichvili entered the stage at last night’s protest against the rigged parliamentary elections on Tbilisi’s Rustaveli Avenue, in front of the Georgian parliament, she was greeted by the crowd with chants of „Salome, Salome.“
Ever since the start of the protests against the so-called Russian Law last year, and especially this year, she has earned a lot of respect for her commitment to the European path, standing up against the ruling party and for her role in uniting the opposition to the extent that they could actually play a significant part in the election.
In her speech, according to media reports, she once again called for a thorough investigation into the rigging of the election in order to ultimately defend the vote of the people, confirming her conviction to „stay until the end of this European path.“
