Georgia Protests: PM Vows Crackdown on Dissent, Accuses EU of Meddling | Firstpost America | N18G

Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Sunday accused the opposition of trying to topple his government and vowed a further crackdown on dissent, hours after the ruling party claimed a landslide win in local elections snubbed by its main rivals. The Prime Minister also accused the European Union of meddling in his country’s politics. Tens of thousands marched in the Georgian capital and tried to storm into the country’s Presidential Palace in Tbilisi on polling day against the government’s repressive policies, and what they see as Georgia’s steady drift into Moscow’s orbit. Kobakhidze’s Georgian Dream party late on Saturday claimed victory in every municipality across the South Caucasus country in local elections boycotted by the two main opposition blocs as a sham.
