🇬🇪 The adoption of the law is a fundamental mistake and directed against Georgia’s path towards the European Union. The Georgian government not only broke their promise made last year to not adopt the law, but they totally ignore the will of the vast majority of the Georgian People who wish to see their country as a EU member state. The adoption of the law will stop Georgia’s integration into the European Union. The accession talks will not be opened if the law comes into force. It’s obvious that the law runs counter to core European values and practices. Creating an environment where civil society organisations can act freely and ensuring media freedom is at the core of all democracies. It is also crucial for a successful EU accession process. We are deeply disappointed by the current authoritarian and anti-EU course of the Georgian government. It forces us to rethink our strong political and financial support for Georgia within the bilateral and European cooperations. Even targeted restrictive measures should be discussed on the European level. The energy and the courage of the protests against the law are deeply impressive. It shows the strong commitment of the Georgian people for the European path. Any violence or continued intimidation against the protesters is completely unacceptable. I call upon the government to respect the will of the people and to withdraw the law once and for all. #foreignagentlaw #sakartvelo #GeorgiaisEurope @EUinGeorgia @PM_Kobakhidze @Zourabichvili_S @OCMediaorg @Ombudsman_Geo @Transparency_GE @FormulaGe
