🇪🇺🇬🇪 A debate took place in the European Parliament around a resolution on the media situation in Georgia.
We can say that the discussions took place against the backdrop of criticism and, according to many speakers, the situation in the country in terms of corruption and security is deteriorating.
🗣 Viola von Cramon (Germany): “We have invested a lot of money in Georgia, but now we see that pro-Western statements are being ignored instead of the reform process”
🗣Marina Kaljurand (Estonia): “I call on Georgian politicians from the ruling party and the opposition to take today's discussion as the last wake-up call. The country, which until recently was the leader among the Eastern partners, has lost momentum and commitment to democratic reforms.”
🗣Marketa Gregorova (Czech Republic): “Journalists are harassed, intimidated and threatened. Do you want to fulfill the wishes of your citizens towards European aspirations? Maintain standards."
ℹ️ It is expected that a resolution on the situation in Georgia will be adopted today.

🇪🇺⚡️🇬🇪 The European Parliament voted for a resolution on violations of media freedom in Georgia and challenges to the safety of journalists.
The text contains criticism of the events of July 5, 2021, when more than 50 journalists were beaten by a mob of radicals in Tbilisi. Some of the perpetrators were arrested and sentenced to prison, but others, including the organizers, have yet to be held accountable. The agreed text also refers to the verdict against the general director of the opposition TV channel Mtavari Arkhi Gvaramia, as well as the cases against the owners of the TV channels TV Pirveli and Formula. In addition, the court decision against the founders of the Lelo for Georgia party is mentioned. The authors of the resolution also touch upon the state of health of ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili. The decision states that, on humanitarian grounds, he should be allowed treatment abroad. The text has also been amended to include a call for sanctions against Georgia's former prime minister and richest man, Bidzina Ivanishvili.
❗️Irakli Kobakhidze, a representative of the ruling party, has already commented on the resolution: “The campaign, which since 2012 has been producing criminals upon returning to power, has reached one of the highest institutions of the EU, the European Parliament.”
