Georgia’s Critical Elections, Seen By A Georgian Dream MP And An EU Observer.

On Saturday, Georgia held parliamentary election that have been framed as a "referendum" on the country's choice between Europe and Russia. The country’s Central Election said the pro-Russian ruling party, Georgian dream had won 53.92 percent of the votes.

However, the opposition disputed those results, and international and European observers spoke of a climate of hatred, intimidations and voting irregularities.

Euronews spoke with different sides, including Maka Botchorishvili an MP from the ruling Georgian Dream party and Reinhold Lopatka, an Austrian MEP and one of the election observers from the European parliament.
