Condemnation of the deteriorating state of democracy in Georgia
The European Parliament has strongly condemned the developments in Georgia, where it believes there has been a fundamental retreat from democracy. It describes the parliamentary elections in October 2024 as rigged and as the moment when the country began to move towards authoritarianism. MEPs say the ruling party has taken control of state institutions and is clamping down on the opposition, the media and civil society.
Parliament refuses to recognise the current leadership of the country and calls for new elections under international supervision. It is also calling for sanctions against the leaders it believes are behind the decline of democracy. The EU should, according to the call, reconsider its current policy towards Georgia.
The repressive atmosphere in the run-up to the local elections and attempts to restrict opposition parties are also a cause for concern. Nevertheless, MEPs express their support for the Georgian public, which, in their view, continues to strive for its country's European future.
