The climate activist is supporting a push to overturn the national election by the country’s pro-Western opposition
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg joined thousands of demonstrators who marched on the Georgian parliament in Tbilisi on Monday as they protested against what they say was a rigged election last month.
The parliamentary elections in the former Soviet republic took place on October 26, with the ruling Georgian Dream party, which advocates pragmatic relations with Russia, winning around 54% of the vote.
Various opposition parties each garnered between 11% and 3%.
The opposition has refused to recognize the results of the poll, insisting they were falsified. President Salome Zourabichvili has backed these claims, urging the people to protest and saying Georgia had become a “victim of a Russian special operation.”
In an interview with Reuters, however, she insisted that she was not directly accusing Moscow of meddling, saying only that the “methodology used in support of most probably Russian… types is shown in the election.”
“Of course, you cannot prove anything,” she admitted, while pointing to “clear links” between the ruling party and Russia.

She supports the Kiev regime too, so maybe just a dumb lib kid doing dumb lib kid things. Why does anyone give a fuck what she thinks? The western cult of celebrity is brainrot.
I see so many people stanning her on hexbear after the Palestine thing.
The Palestine thing was the first time she took a position that was categorically leftist and not liberal.
Up to that point everyone knew she was a tool for the liberal establishment, and it was safe to assume she was a sock puppet with no actual agency. When she started speaking out for Palestine it was clearly not desired by the establishment that gave her her platform, judging by the way media and talking heads covered (and often didn't cover) it.
So it was a hopeful thing. Stanning her specifically would have been a mistake, but the possibility that this one teen that the libs had invested so much celebrity power in might be developing class consciousness and turning all that power against them was something to root for. It didn't last. Easy come, easy go.
