  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    Viktor Orban has declared the [election in Georgia](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/28/putin-wins-west-does-nothing-georgia-russia-democracy/) “free and democratic” despite huge protests over claims the vote was rigged by Russia.

    Hungary’s pro-Putin prime minister [travelled to Tbilisi](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/28/viktor-orban-visits-georgia-after-election-rigged-by-moscow/) for a two-day visit to offer his support to [Irakli Kobakhidze](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/05/26/georgia-pm-president-of-treason-opposing-foreign-agents-law/), his Georgian counterpart, defying [criticism of the vote](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/27/georgia-election-stolen-by-putins-puppet-government/) 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.

  2. Remind me when was the last time these kind of guys cared about people wishes? They’d be celebrating their victory with the whole country banging at their doors demanding a reelection.

  3. Remember Americans Orban is the kind of guy Trump wants to emulate. Government control of the media and universities. Unabated corruption. 

  4. As bad as european leaders calling this election rigged before any definitive evidence is presented, people don’t care about what actually happened, they just rooting for their “team”
