**European Union Stands Up for Georgia’s Democratic Rights**
The European People’s Party (EPP) has adopted a resolution on Georgia, calling for the release of former President Mikheil Saakashvili and all political prisoners. This is a significant development that sends a strong message to the Georgian government: respect democracy and human rights.
According to Tina Bokuchava, chairwoman of the United National Movement, this resolution is a significant support for Georgia’s European choice. “We met with top European leaders, including the President of the European Commission and the Chancellor of Germany, to protect our country’s future in Europe,” she said. The fact that these influential leaders attended the EPP congress is a testament to the importance of this issue.
**What does it mean for Georgia?**
The resolution demands the release of Mikheil Saakashvili and all political prisoners, as well as the holding of new parliamentary elections. This is a direct challenge to the current Georgian government’s handling of democracy and human rights. The EPP is essentially saying that unless Georgia returns to its democratic path, it cannot move forward on European integration.
The sanctions policy expansion aimed at restraining the Russian regime is also a significant part of this resolution. Russia’s influence in Georgia has been a major concern for years, and the EPP’s stance shows that Europe is willing to take action to protect its interests and values.
**What next?**
For now, it seems that the Georgian government will face increased pressure from Europe to respect democratic rights and human dignity. The release of Mikheil Saakashvili and all political prisoners, as well as the holding of new elections, are non-negotiable demands. If Georgia fails to comply, it risks losing its path towards European integration.
The EPP’s resolution is a clear message to the Georgian people: stand up for your rights, democracy, and human dignity, or risk falling behind on the path to European prosperity.
