**CEC Reorganization: A Political Move?**
The Central Election Commission (CEC) in Georgia has undergone a reorganization. But many are questioning the real reasons behind this change.
According to Nino Dolidze, chair of the “Fair Elections and International Democracy Society,” the CEC employees were dismissed for political reasons. The reorganization did not serve the real purpose of changing the commission’s structure, but rather aimed at dismissing specific individuals from their positions.

The suspension of Georgia’s Euro-integration process by the “Georgian Dream” party on November 28, 2024, was met with public condemnation. Many officials publicly expressed their loyalty to the Euro-integration direction, defending the Constitution of Georgia.
