The European Commission has stated clearly that it will not support Georgia’s EU membership bid without significant reforms, citing the GD party’s troubling shift towards conservatism and Russia.
Georgia was recommended for EU candidate status last year, which is now under threat due to the ruling party's adoption of controversial laws echoing Kremlin tactics and reported election irregularities.
Critics emphasize the alarming parallels between Georgia's new foreign agent law and anti-LGBTQ+ measures with similar laws previously enacted in Russia, suggesting a deeper alignment with Moscow.
The recent parliamentary elections have been marred by serious allegations of fraud and voter intimidation, raising concerns among Western allies about Georgia's commitment to democratic principles.
