Georgia's parliamentary elections and visit of Viktor Orbán

Markéta Gregorová, Greens/EFA MEP from the Czech Pirate Party and Vice-Chair of the Delegation to the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly, just returned from the European Parliament's official observer mission to monitor Georgia's parliamentary elections and comments on Viktor Orbán’s visit to the country:

“Viktor Orbán is not representing the EU in Georgia today. Once again, Orbán is exploiting Hungary’s Council Presidency to serve his own interests, favoring pro-Russian allies and spreading misinformation.

“These elections were far from democratic. As an official observer for the European Parliament, our mission witnessed repeated voting, voter intimidation, physical assaults, and even instances of individuals casting multiple ballots. All reported violations during election day must be investigated and addressed.”
