In a recent video message, Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili stated she will not resign and intends to continue her outreach to European partners, despite the ruling party’s move to dismiss her over what it called uncoordinated visits to the European Union. The message was relayed by DEA News as part of ongoing coverage surrounding the political tension in Tbilisi.
Zurabishvili asserted firmly that she has no plans to step back. According to her, she remains dedicated to her constitutional duties and will travel wherever she believes it is necessary to advance Georgia’s European integration goals. This stance comes amid a broader debate about presidential independence and government confidence in the country’s top offices.
The impeachment discussion centered on Zurabishvili’s European tours, which the governing Georgia Dream party contends were conducted without the government’s authorization. Party leaders indicated they planned to gather the required signatures for a constitutional court review. Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili publicly supported the move, arguing that the President had lost the confidence of the parliament and the public. The situation has sparked extensive media analysis in Georgian outlets and is being watched closely by international observers who follow Georgia’s bid for closer ties with European institutions.
Meanwhile, in a separate development tied to regional transportation, Red Wings has announced a new air route linking Moscow with Georgia, signaling potential shifts in travel and economic activity in the region.
