EPP Statement on the elections in Georgia
31. October 2024
On 26 October, the people of Georgia have yet again been deprived of their fundamental freedoms and their right to choose their future in free and fair elections. By applying violence, pressure, intimidation, vote-buying, misuse of administrative resources and electoral manipulations, the Georgian Dream-led government has further distanced the country from democratic values, the rule of law and the prospect of European integration the Georgian people aspire to.
The European People's Party stands with the Georgian people in their rightful demand to swiftly address their legitimate concerns about the fairness of the conduct and the results of the elections. We call on our democratic partners to engage in investigating the irregularities widely reported by all credible local and international observation missions. The Georgian people deserve their place among free, democratic nations of Europe, and no one should be able to steal their European future from them.
