I wonder whether the government can continue
to pursue a European path for #Georgia while
becoming more authoritarian.
When the moment comes to decide

In Britain, we would call some of the messaging
in #Georgia's election campaign as “project fear”.
I can’t blame anyone from wanting to avoid
a repeat of #Russia’s aggression against #Ukraine.
