Georgien in der Schwebe

Submission Statement: “In the post-election period, Georgia is neither completely shunned nor progressing on its EU path.” Emil Avdaliani discusses the political situation in Georgia following recent elections, with the ruling party, Georgian Dream, making claims of victory amid accusations of electoral fraud from the opposition. The European Union has responded by proposing to redirect aid from the government to civil society groups, signaling its discontent with the ruling party. Despite some electoral gains, the opposition remains fragmented, and the overall relationship between Georgia and the West is at a low point, with prospects for deeper integration into the EU appearing stagnant.
