The fifth president of Georgia has spoken to FRANCE 24 about her decision to leave the presidential palace almost a year ago, and her attempts ever since to help the millions of people who support her and the country’s bid for EU membership. After losing elections in Georgia that were widely seen as fraudulent and amid huge demonstrations in the country, Salomé Zourabichvili stayed in place to fight the pro-European cause. She spoke to us about the war in Ukraine, as well as her optimism that her country will once again turn away from Russia and towards Europe.
