Georgian Dream again plans to adopt the Russian law, which will restrict free and critical opinions in Georgia. The adoption of the bill will block the path of the people of Georgia to the European Union.
For weeks, civil society has been explaining in detail why the Russian law is unconstitutional, the end of Georgian democracy, and deliberately damaging to the common national pursuit of integration into the European Union. However, no one could convince the public about the harmful consequences of the Russian law better than the government's statements yesterday.Especially in the current tense political climate, the issue of the Service’s politicisation has become even more apparent.
While "Georgian Dream" continues to entrench its control over Georgia's public institutions, the country’s anti-corruption mechanisms are being repurposed not to hold those in power accountable, but to target independent civil society organizations in Georgia.
After the European Commission published a harsh assessment about Georgia, the Prosecutor’s Office charged opposition leaders with serious crimes against the State.
