The
Anti-Corruption Bureau, which was established within the framework of the
recommendations of the European Commission, will be abolished from March 2,
2026, and its functions will be transferred to the State Audit Service.
According to the representatives
of Georgian Dream, the goal of the abolition is to optimize costs. The organization believes that the abolition of the Bureau
is actually
perceived as a
clear demarcation with the EU political values
and European integration.
The main task of the agency created to combat corruption has become the persecution of the civil sector. The entire resource of the agency has been directed towards pursuing partisan interests and suppressing critical opinion. During the incomplete three years, not a single case of alleged corruption has been identified by the Bureau. The monitoring report prepared by the organization assesses the very activities of the Anti-Corruption Bureau for the incomplete three years.

In Georgia, while 2024–2026 is described as a period of significant deterioration in media rights, signs of increased state-led political influence over independent and public-interest media had become visible earlier.
Since 2024, Georgia’s legal and institutional framework has been changing at an unusually rapid pace.
