Salome Zourabichvili's tenure as president, once defined by symbolism, has transformed as she now embodies a nationwide resistance against the pro-Russian government, catalyzing a significant pro-EU protest movement.
For almost a month, hundreds of thousands of Georgians have rallied in Tbilisi and beyond, expressing their outrage over disputed elections and the government's suspension of EU integration, facing harsh police crackdowns.
Zourabichvili's background as a French diplomat, coupled with her family’s escape from Soviet oppression, positions her uniquely in this political landscape, making her a beacon of hope for pro-Western citizens.
Once a loyalist of the ruling Georgian Dream party, Zourabichvili's shift to become a symbol of resistance illustrates the dramatic authoritarian shift of the current government and the burgeoning hope for democracy.
