Президентские выборы в Грузии назначены на 28 октября

Выборы следующего президента Грузии состоятся 28 октября. Об этом в среду заявил действующий президент Георгий Маргвелашвили. По его словам, дата была согласована с премьер-министром.

Это будут последние выборы президента Грузии всенародным голосованием. При недавно одобренных конституционных изменениях президенты Грузии впоследствии будут избираться парламентом. Должность президента Грузии потеряла большую часть своей исполнительной власти в 2012 году после изменений в конституции, осуществленной тогдашним правительством Единого Национального Движения.

Октябрьские выборы рассматриваются как проверка популярности правительства Грузинской мечты. Правящая партия еще не выбрала своего кандидата, а председатель партии Бидзина Иванишвили ранее намекнул, что партия может решить поддержать беспартийного кандидата.

Trump had initially demanded rights to Ukraine's mineral wealth as compensation for US weapons sent under former president Joe Biden after Russia invaded just over three years ago.
