Georgia: Ruling party celebrates election victory

Did the Russian terrorist state have its dirty fingers in the pie and did war criminal Vladimir Putin (72) manage to undermine democracy in Georgia with the help of money and corruption?

The ruling Georgian Dream party has become increasingly authoritarian and has passed laws similar to those used by Russia to clamp down on free speech. After one such law was passed earlier this year, Brussels suspended Georgia's EU accession process.

If the victory of ‘Georgian Dream’ is confirmed, it will be a blow to those Georgians who are hoping for closer integration with Europe and see the election as a choice between the West and Russia.

According to the first official results, with 70% of polling stations counted, which represents the majority of votes cast, the ruling party received 53% of the vote, according to the election commission. The results do not include most of the votes cast by Georgians living abroad.

‘The Georgian people have voted for this country's European future and therefore we will not accept these falsified results published by the Central Election Commission,’ said Tina Bokuchava, leader of the opposition United National Movement.

‘We Vote’, a Georgian coalition of election observers, said the results “do not reflect the will of the Georgian people”, pointing to multiple reports of voter intimidation and vote-buying.

‘We will continue to demand the cancellation of the results,’ it said. Post-election polls showed widely divergent projections for the election: Imedi TV, a TV station supporting “Georgian Dream”, showed the ruling party winning with 56 %. Polls from opposition broadcasters after the election showed the opposition parties making big gains.

Ivanishvili, the reclusive billionaire founder of Georgian Dream and former prime minister, claimed victory and praised the Georgian people. ‘It is a rare case in the world for the same party to achieve such success in such a difficult situation – this is a good indicator of the talent of the Georgian people,’ Ivanishvili told cheering supporters.

The question is, should these election results stand, in which direction will Georgia drift, towards Europe or towards the terrorist state of Russia and its authoritarian dictator and mass murderer Vladimir Putin?

DeepSeek: The AI everyone is talking about...

DeepSeek is a new, highly developed artificial intelligence (AI) solution that is now available on the international market. Developed by an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, data scientists and industry experts, the system promises comprehensive, in-depth data analysis in real time. Companies from a wide range of sectors – from financial services and healthcare to manufacturing – are watching DeepSeek's market entry with great interest.Revolutionary technology for big data:The ability to process and analyse large volumes of data accurately and productively is now considered a key factor for sustainable business success. This is precisely where DeepSeek comes in: with the help of deep learning algorithms, neural networks and highly optimised search routines, the system is able to quickly identify complex information relationships. This means that anomalies can be detected in real time, forecasts for market developments can be created and diagnoses can be supported in the medical field.A wide range of applications– Financial sector: Banks and insurance companies could use DeepSeek to assess risks more precisely, recognise fraud patterns more quickly and make automated trading decisions in fractions of a second.- Industry and logistics: By processing sensor data from production lines, sources of error can be identified early on and failures minimised. Logistics specialists benefit from predictive analytics to optimise supply chains and prevent bottlenecks in good time.- Medicine and research: DeepSeek provides support in evaluating medical images or lab results, for example to detect tumours early on or create personalised treatment proposals.- Marketing and e-commerce: Because the system recognises patterns in user behaviour, it can provide targeted product recommendations and customised advertising. At the same time, the effectiveness of campaigns can be analysed almost in real time.User-friendliness meets data protection:While complex AI solutions in the past often required highly specialised IT expertise, DeepSeek places a high value on user-friendliness. The system has an intuitive dashboard that can be customised and integrated into existing IT structures. The high standard of data protection is also particularly noteworthy: DeepSeek enables the implementation of strict access rights and anonymised data processing. This is of particular importance for European companies in view of the applicable data protection laws (GDPR).Opportunities and risks at a glance:Despite all the advantages, the discussion about AI applications like DeepSeek remains lively. Critics fear that the widespread use of AI systems could lead to job losses and replace human decision-making processes. However, the developers of DeepSeek emphasise that their solution is not intended to replace people, but rather to relieve them: ‘DeepSeek is designed to automate routine activities in order to open up strategic and creative tasks,’ says the development team.Outlook – new standards for data-driven innovation:Although DeepSeek has only been on the market for a short time, the first pilot projects suggest that the AI solution could set new standards not only in business but also in science and administration. Many companies are already waiting in the wings to integrate DeepSeek into their systems.How quickly and comprehensively the system ultimately catches on will also depend on its acceptance by the general public. What is certain, however, is that DeepSeek, with its high-performance technology and focus on user-friendly application, could be an important player in the next phase of digitisation – and thus pave the way for a new generation of artificial intelligence.
