the party that won doesnt want georgia to (try to) join nato. that’s enough to make them illegitimate nowadays.

I’m out of the loop. Why were their elections controversial and why does she believe she’s the only legitimate president? Was it because of Russian interference?

All the other parties boycotted the election, so this guy won by default. I don’t know why they were boycotting it, but having only one person on the ballot doesn’t seem like a free and fair election by any measure.

Yes, and fraud. Also, the new president ran on continuing EU accession talks and has turned about and suspended them before day one.
