Orban in Tbilisa: Visit to the shadow of the electoral crisis in Georgia

Tiflis, Georgien - Tbilis experienced a turbulent visit to the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who arrived in the middle of the tense atmosphere after the parliamentary election in Georgia. Orban, who is ideologically close to the national conservative party "Georgischer Dream", congratulated the party against official election results, which are overshadowed by extensive violations of the rules. Despite the controversial count, the party was declared the winner, which led to massive protests in the opposition, which demands new elections.

Orban will be officially received by Prime Minister Irakli Kobachidse on Tuesday. In view of the current developments in the EU, in which Hungary is viewed critically, the German ambassador in Tbilisa emphasized that Orban speaks for Hungary in Georgia and not for the entire EU. The political situation in Georgia remains tense, while the demonstrators are fighting for justice and new elections on the streets. Further details can be found at www.lippewelle.de .
