Georgian Dream

G

Georgian Dream is the ruling political party in Georgia, founded by billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili in 2012, which has dominated the nation’s political landscape for over a decade. The party positions itself as a pragmatic force balancing European integration with the preservation of traditional conservative values, though it frequently faces criticism from domestic opposition and international observers regarding its governance, democratic standards, and handling of constitutional crises. As the party navigates complex geopolitical tensions between the West and Russia, its policies remain a central point of contention in Georgia’s ongoing struggle to define its democratic future and sovereign identity.
