The statement of the Weimar countries is a very important statement, which once again shows that on the one hand, the door to the European Union is open and on the other hand, the Georgian Dream regime is not doing anything to move towards this door, - this is how Grigol Gegelia, the international secretary of Lelo-Strong Georgia, assesses the statement of the Weimar Triangle, which concerned the legislative amendments adopted by the Georgian Parliament on foreign funding and political activity.

According to Gegelia, we hear from the Weimar Triangle countries that Georgia “is betraying the course and the obligations it has taken towards the international community, specifically the European Union and the European normative agenda.”

“The Weimar countries are very important countries, states with significant influence, historically very important partners for Georgia. We hear from these countries that the Georgian state is betraying the course and the obligations it has taken towards the international community and, in particular, towards the European Union and the European normative agenda. This is a very important statement, which once again shows that on the one hand, the door to the European Union is open and on the other hand, the Georgian Dream regime is doing nothing to move towards this door. On the contrary, it is actively blocking millions of Georgians from the path that leads to real peace, real prosperity and greater political stability. In addition, towards the project called the European Union. In the name of peace, the Georgian Dream is actively cooperating with the war party, the warring parties, the warring states. It is doing everything to prevent Georgia from taking effective steps forward towards an agenda based on the rules of European peace,” Gegelia said.

For information, the Foreign Ministers of the Weimar Triangle countries - France, Germany and Poland - issued a joint statement regarding the adoption of legislative amendments on foreign funding and political activity. The statement notes that the Foreign Ministers of the Weimar Triangle are concerned about the adoption of new legislation on foreign funding and political activity by the Georgian Parliament on March 4, which “is evidence of the Georgian government’s increasingly repressive approach towards civil society.”

According to the statement, “with the new regulations, the Georgian government is deliberately violating its obligations to the European Union, especially within the framework of the Association Agreement.”
