Protests in Georgia as government halts EU accession talks

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

I discussed Georgia's decision to freeze EU accession talks and the resulting domestic and international backlash. The ruling Georgian Dream party faces allegations of democratic backsliding and pro-Russian policies, compounded by election irregularities and controversial laws undermining democratic freedoms. Despite strong public support for EU membership, these developments highlight deepening tensions within Georgia, complicating its path to European integration.
