President Salome Zourabichvili slams Georgia's government as 'illegitimate'
Salome Zourabichvili was inaugurated as Georgia's first female president in 2018. While her role as head of state may be largely ceremonial, her personal politics aren't. She's staunchly pro-Western, sees Georgia's future as part of the European Union and is keen to see her country move out of Russia's orbit. That’s put her in direct conflict with the Georgian Dream, the populist pro-Russia party that's headed Georgia's majority government since 2016.
