It seems that the tightening of the sanctions regime is inevitable and "Georgian Dream" is also prepared for it.

I want to appeal to our European friends and ask them not to stop visa-free travel for innocent citizens of Georgia!- former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mikheil Janelidze, writes on his Facebook page.

According to him, if visa-free travel is stopped, it will harm the ordinary citizen, because it will alienate Europe, and "Georgian Dream" will use this issue for even more anti-European propaganda.

"In 2016, when we were conducting negotiations on this issue, we asked you to open up the opportunity for more Georgian citizens to see the European lifestyle, democracy, social benefits, culture, and values. In doing so, European integration brought practical benefits to our citizens while moving closer to its historical goal. The correctness of this decision was well demonstrated in the 2024 elections, we saw the commitment to the European future of the new generation that benefits the most from this bounty.

If visa-free travel is stopped for everyone, it may increase the anger towards the Georgian Dream in the public, including the voters of the Georgian Dream, however, when the state is completely obsessed with the Georgian Dream, it will only hurt the ordinary citizen, alienate him from Europe. . "Georgian Dream" will use this issue for even more anti-European propaganda. This is almost the same as not giving the opportunity to the compatriots living in the occupied territories to cross the occupation line", Janelidze wrote.
