The resolution of the European Parliament did not recognize the results of the elections in Georgia

The European Parliament approved a resolution that does not recognize the results of the parliamentary elections in Georgia. The resolution supports the call for an independent, international and transparent investigation of accusations of manipulations with the results of the vote on October 26.

The European Parliament noted that Georgia, the Candidate country for joining the EU, held elections that "did not meet the international standards of democratic elections and its obligations as the OSCE member state for free and honest elections."

The document also says that violations recorded during the vote are incompatible with standards expected from the Candidate country in the EU.

The European Parliament also urges the EU to impose sanctions against the leadership of the Georgian Parliament and the ruling party "Georgian Dream". According to the European Parliament, they are responsible for anti -democratic actions.

The resolution calls for the European Commission and the European Council to revise the visa -free regime for Georgia citizens if the EU standards in the field of democratic management and freedoms will not be observed.

The document is advisory in nature, but can influence the decisions of European countries made in relation to Georgia.

Today, the Georgian parliament approved the new composition of the government led by Prime Minister Irakli Kobahidze. During his speech, he promised a reboot of relations with the United States and the European Union. Speaking of relations with Moscow, the prime minister announced the need to adhere to a "pragmatic policy." "The settlement of the conflict between Georgia and Russia will, of course, remain one of the most important priorities," Kobahidze said. He also added that Tbilisi has its own red lines, which are associated "with the de -knowledge of the Georgian lands."

Only deputies of the Georgian Dream participate in the sessions of the parliament. The four opposition parties, which have passed according to the results of the elections to the parliament, do not recognize the results of the elections and boycott the meetings.
