Salome Zourabichvili: This was total electoral fraud

First, I would like to thank all the voters who voted for the European future of Georgia. There were many of you, you won these elections, and no one has the right to take away this European future from us. I want to thank the people who fought in polling stations under very unequal conditions to protect your vote. I would like to thank the journalists who fought in even worse conditions so that violations would be recorded as much as possible.

There were so many violations, in so many different ways, that it was practically impossible to record them all.

We witnessed a very unusual thing. This was a complete lie. This was a total snatch of your votes. All the methods we have known were used; modern technology was used to whitewash the forgery. Such a thing has never happened. We can say we have become witnesses and victims of a Russian special operation. One of the new forms of hybrid war, which was carried out against our people and country,” the president said.
