SUMMARY:Keeping Georgia on the EU-Enlar­gement Agenda: Visit of Georgian Civil Society Repre­sen­ta­tives to Brussels
DESCRIPTION:Back­ground \nAs Georgia faces its most serious poli­ti­cal crisis since indepen­dence\, the country is rapidly sliding (or has already slid) into autho­ri­ta­rianism under the current ruling party – the Geor­gian Dream. The adop­tion of repres­sive laws—including legis­lation inspi­red by the Russian “foreign agents” model\, Ame­ri­can FARA\, new media regula­tions\, and new laws curbing the human rights\, inclu­ding freedom of speech and assembly—signals an open crack­down on civil society\, media\, poli­ti­cal oppo­si­tion\, and pro-Euro­pean voices. This backsli­ding threa­tens not only the country’s demo­cra­tic fabric but also its Euro­pean future. This also firmly places Georgia in the Russian orbit. \nIn this cri­ti­cal moment\, a group of leading Geor­gian civil society repre­sen­ta­tives will visit Brussels to brief key EU insti­tu­tions\, poli­ti­cal groups\, and part­ners about the situa­tion on the ground. The dele­ga­tion\, orga­ni­zed by the Center of Liberal Moder­nity and the Konrad Ade­nauer Stif­tung Euro­pean Office brings tog­e­ther diverse exper­tise and net­works\, unified by a shared com­mit­ment to demo­cra­tic values and the defense of Georgia’s Euro­pean path. \nPurpose \nThe purpose of the visit is to provide EU stake­holders with a timely and accu­rate brie­fing on the deepe­ning poli­ti­cal crisis in Georgia\, marked by the ruling party’s autho­ri­tarian drift and escala­ting repres­sion against inde­pen­dent voices. The dele­ga­tion will focus on the impli­ca­tions of recently adopted dra­co­nian laws tar­ge­ting civil society\, media\, and poli­ti­cal opponents—legislation that threa­tens to dis­mantle Georgia’s demo­cra­tic founda­tions and derail its Euro­pean inte­gra­tion path. \nParti­ci­pants \n\nMarie­luise Beck\, Senior Fellow\, LibMod\nKhatia Kika­lish­vili\, Program Direc­tor\, Eastern Part­ner­ship\, LibMod\nSergi Kapa­nadze\, Co-Founder\, Georgia’s Reforms Asso­cia­tes (GRASS)\nTina Khida­sheli\, Founder\, Civic IDEA\nNino Chach­ava\, Coordi­nator EU Inte­gra­tion\, Civil Society Foun­da­tion (CSF)\nSaba Braj­veli\, Human Rights Program Manager\, Civil Society Foun­da­tion (CSF)
