MEP Richards Kols: The EU must act: sanctions, full policy reset, and no illusions about GD’s intentions

The EU must act: sanctions, full policy reset, and no illusions about GD’s intentions, - MEP Richards Kols writes on his X page.

“Georgia is sliding into authoritarianism. The new GD law blocks foreign aid to NGOs, media, and civic groups—unless approved by the regime trying to silence them.

This is state capture. Straight out of Lukashenka’s playbook.

The European Parliament has rejected Georgia’s 2024 elections as illegitimate and called for new ones within a year. The EU must act: sanctions, full policy reset, and no illusions about GD’s intentions”, he wrote.
