In just 4-5 years, we have a chance to become a member of the European Union.

At this moment, "Alde" received the election manifesto for the European Parliament elections planned for this year, which should be guided by the MEPs who left "Alde" parties in the coming years.

On the initiative of us, "Girchi - More Freedom", "Strategy Aghmashenebeli" and Ukrainians, it was written in this manifesto that "Alde" has the ambition to ensure that the countries of the Western Balkans, Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine meet all the criteria for membership by 2029.

In addition, the Dutch wrote to us that, in addition to meeting the Copenhagen criteria, Georgia's foreign and security policy must be in line with the European Union's foreign and security policy.

Today, "Alde" is the third largest group in the European Parliament. After this year's elections, together with Macron's party, it might become the second largest party," wrote Zurab Japaridze on the social network.
