Orban booed as Georgian protesters dispute 'rigged' election
Viktor Orban has declared the election in Georgia “free and democratic” despite huge protests over claims the vote was rigged by Russia.
Hungary’s pro-Putin prime minister travelled to Tbilisi for a two-day visit to offer his support to Irakli Kobakhidze, his Georgian counterpart, defying criticism of the vote by his fellow EU members.
Mr Kobakhidze’s ruling Georgian Dream party tilted towards Moscow before the electoral battle between pro-Western and pro-Russian forces, which has jeopardised Georgian hopes of one day joining the EU.
