Why Georgia 🇬🇪 needs intternational help, that is international pressure on its regime:

"Georgian Dream will never lose an election it organizes.
Not because it commands majority support. Because it has engineered a system where losing is not a permitted outcome."

Terje Helland nailed it very well on how "Georgian Dream" & Ivanishvili system works, and why personal sanctions will help more than expressing some "concern" over democracy decline.

Personal sanctions against "Georgian Dream" party leadership and against Ivanishvili is what protesters of #GeorgiaProtests asking and wrtiting on their signs.

In many formerly democratic countries, the road to one-party rule has been long and winding. Georgia’s ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party seems to have decided to take the expressway.

On 6 November prosecutors charged eight of the country’s leading opposition figures, including a former president, Mikheil Saakashvili, with plotting to carry out a coup.
