The EU stated the condition for Georgia regarding joining the European Union — what exactly.
Georgia cannot join the European Union until its authorities change their 'authoritarian course'. This was reported by the European Parliament.
EU's claims against Georgia
The European Union demands fair elections in Georgia so that the country can continue its path to becoming part of the community. The European Parliament does not recognize the current government of Georgia but supports the Georgian people.
After the parliamentary elections in 2024, where the ruling party 'Georgian Dream' won, the authorities suspended the process of Euro-integration. This led to mass protests in the country.
The protests were suppressed by security forces using tear gas and water cannons. According to Transparency International Georgia, at least 400 people were detained during the demonstrations.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed doubts that Ukraine would join the European Union by 2034, believing that first the war should be stopped. However, Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine is ready to open the first negotiation cluster within the EU accession process.
Summary: The European Parliament demands fair elections in Georgia so that the country can continue its path to joining the European Union. The Georgian authorities are currently facing criticism from the EU for suspending the Euro-integration process after controversial elections.Read also
