听听President. 鈥� The next item is a statement by the Vice-President of the Commission听/听High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy on democratic backsliding and threats to political pluralism in Georgia ().

听听V臎ra Jourov谩, Vice-President of the Commission, on behalf of the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, 鈥� Mr听President, honourable Members of the European 合法博彩网站, on 26听October, over 3听million Georgians will cast their vote to elect a new parliament. These parliamentary elections are pivotal for Georgia's EU path. They will also be a critical test for Georgia's democracy.

Last December, when Georgia was granted EU candidate status, we hoped this would be a strong incentive for the government to undertake significant reforms towards opening EU negotiations. Instead, in recent months, the governing authorities have proposed laws that have moved the country away from this goal. Despite massive protests, the foreign influence law, which stifles civil society and media organisations, was reintroduced and adopted. Other proposals that discriminate against and stigmatise the LGBTQI community and weaken the independence of state institutions have also been put forward. At the same time, anti-EU rhetoric has grown louder.

First, I want to thank you, the European 合法博彩网站, for being vocal about the situation in Georgia and calling strongly for EU action in response to the Georgian Government's unprecedented anti-democratic actions and rhetoric. The EU has responded with appropriate measures. Georgia's EU accession process has been halted. Political contacts have been downgraded. EU support through the European Peace Facility worth EUR听30听million is on hold, while the assistance portfolio is being reviewed.

We have repeatedly called on the Georgian authorities to reverse their course of action and we have increased our communication towards the Georgian citizens. Many of you have echoed such calls. These measures can be reversed and the solution is simple if there is political will. The Georgian authorities need to start by repealing laws that contradict the stated goal of joining the EU, particularly laws that restrict fundamental rights and freedoms.

Second comment: we have also heard false accusations and blatant disinformation about the EU and its values spread by ruling party officials, including the prime minister and members of the parliament. Claims that the EU and the West are trying to open a second front in Georgia or seeking the Ukrainisation of the country are unacceptable, false and harmful to our relations. These narratives only serve Russia and its propaganda. The EU will continue to expose such false narratives and respond to anti-democratic actions.

And finally, the upcoming parliamentary elections will be a strong test for Georgia's democracy. The electoral campaign has already been marred by troubling statements and actions from the ruling party, including promises to ban opposition parties and efforts to restrict civil society and the media. Such tactics resemble those of authoritarian regimes. If these measures are implemented, they would clearly contradict Georgia's stated goal to join the EU and the values and principles that underpin EU membership.

The EU will closely follow the conduct of these upcoming elections. It is our expectation that they will be peaceful, free and fair, truly reflecting the will of the Georgian people. The EU's door remains open, but the Georgian authorities need first to realign with EU values and norms and recommit to Georgia's EU path. We are ready to support and work with all Georgians on their path towards EU membership.

听听Rasa Juknevi膷ien臈, on behalf of the PPE Group. 鈥� Mr President, first of all, many thanks to the colleagues from other groups with whom we agreed a strong resolution on Georgia this morning.

合法博彩网站 sends a very clear message to Bidzina Ivanishvili and his collaborators from the Georgian Dream: membership in the EU is incompatible with their politics. You cannot be pro-European and pro-Kremlin at the same time. You cannot support the European way of life and glorify Stalin at the same time.

合法博彩网站 will be closely monitoring the upcoming elections. We once again reiterate that the conduct of the elections should fully adhere to international standards. If the Georgian Dream continues following Lukashenka's path, the EU will be forced to react and reassess Georgia's fulfilment, including visa鈥憀iberalisation benchmarks.

We also call for the immediate and unconditional release of former President Mikheil Saakashvili. The Georgian Government must be held fully accountable for any harm caused to Saakashvili's life and health.

Now, the decision on the future of Georgia is in the hands of the Georgian people. Dear Georgians, nobody can be more responsible for Georgia's future than you yourselves can. We hope that the Georgian people will find their way back to the democratic European family.

听听Sven Mikser, on behalf of the S&D Group. 鈥� Mr听President, dear colleagues, I have been working with Georgia for many years now, and I believe that I can call myself a friend of Georgia. One thing that has never failed to impress me during those years has been the commitment of Georgian people to their Euro鈥慉tlantic and European aspirations. Truly, the support for these aspirations has been overwhelming in Georgian society.

Unfortunately, recently we've seen that the conduct of the government and the governing party are in a very stark contrast to the commitment of the people to those ideals and aspirations 鈥� indeed, the adoption of laws that severely hinder or limit the operation of NGOs and civil society, that harass minorities, including the LGBTIQ community. These are steps that are totally in contradiction to the declared European aspirations of Georgia.

Our European institutions and European Union Member States have been extremely supportive of Georgia, granting the candidate status 鈥� albeit conditionally 鈥� to Georgia. But this is not a path that is irreversible. Unfortunately, the authorities of Georgia seem to be working against those aspirations. Obviously, it goes without saying that the good conduct of elections is absolutely imperative when it comes to a country with European aspirations, but pluralism and democracy go far beyond that, and we truly expect Georgia to live up to its commitments that it has expressed in words, but so far not in deeds.

听听Thierry Mariani, au nom du groupe PfE. 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, 芦faites ce que je dis, pas ce que je fais.禄 Voil脿 la devise qui r茅sume l'attitude du Parlement europ茅en dans les 茅lections l茅gislatives en G茅orgie du 26听octobre prochain. En effet, 脿 la veille d'un scrutin capital, le vote d'une telle r茅solution sonne v茅ritablement comme un alibi d茅guis茅 en 茅tendard, un outil offert aux agitateurs et aux ONG financ茅es par l'茅tranger, qui vise 脿 d茅stabiliser l'actuelle majorit茅 en G茅orgie.

En听2020, l'Open Society Foundation de George听Soros reconnaissait avoir d茅vers茅 85听millions听d'euros sur la G茅orgie depuis 1994, dont pr猫s de 5听millions听d'euros en听2019. Depuis, aucun chiffre ne semble avoir 茅t茅 rendu public, mais cette ing茅rence 茅trang猫re, visiblement, ne d茅range personne ici. Une fois de plus, la d茅monstration est faite que l'Union europ茅enne applique la politique de deux poids, deux mesures, car de toute 茅vidence, en nous livrant 脿 ce jeu dangereux, nous servons de porte-voix 脿 des int茅r锚ts ext茅rieurs, notamment ceux de l'Open听Society, qui cherchent 脿 semer le chaos dans le Caucase. Chacun peut deviner qu'en cas de victoire du R锚ve g茅orgien, certains esp猫rent inverser le r茅sultat par le d茅sordre et le chaos, voire par un nouveau Ma茂dan.

Chacun aussi comprendra parfaitement que cette r茅solution a pour but d'influencer l'exercice de la d茅mocratie g茅orgienne par une ing茅rence ext茅rieure 茅vidente. Cette d茅marche est dangereuse, car elle conf猫re aussi 脿 l'Union europ茅enne une image de moralisateur aux relents n茅ocoloniaux. Notre empressement 脿 d茅noncer les ing茅rences n'a d'茅gal que notre silence lorsqu'elles proviennent de notre propre camp, ou qu'elles servent nos int茅r锚ts. Les G茅orgiens ne veulent ni prendre leurs ordres 脿 Moscou, ni prendre leurs consignes 脿 Bruxelles. Je redoute enfin que ce coup de pression finisse par un vulgaire chantage au financement. Le 26听octobre, laissons les G茅orgiens choisir seuls leur avenir. Nul besoin de leur donner des le莽ons. Ce peuple libre et courageux saura choisir seul son destin.

听听Ma艂gorzata Gosiewska, w imieniu grupy ECR. 鈥� Panie Przewodnicz膮cy! Od lat wspieram demokratyczn膮 Gruzj臋 w jej drodze do Unii Europejskiej. Podziwia艂am rozw贸j po rewolucji r贸偶 oraz reformy, kt贸re zbli偶a艂y ten kraj do standard贸w europejskich. Po przej臋ciu w艂adzy przez Bidzin臋 Iwaniszwilego z b贸lem patrzy艂am na stopniowy upadek kraju i podporz膮dkowywanie polityce Moskwy. Jednym z wi臋藕ni贸w politycznych Iwaniszwilego jest by艂y prezydent Gruzji Michai艂 Saakaszwili. I to jemu chcia艂abym teraz odda膰 g艂os. Oto list do Pa艅stwa, kt贸ry wczoraj od niego otrzyma艂am.

Szanowni Pos艂owie do Parlamentu Europejskiego! Za kilka tygodni na wschodnim kra艅cu Europy, w Gruzji, mo偶e nast膮pi膰 wielkie zwyci臋stwo Europy, demokracji i pokoju albo ogromna tragedia. W tej walce nastroje spo艂eczne w Gruzji s膮 jednoznaczne. Zdecydowana wi臋kszo艣膰 obywateli popiera Europ臋 i wolno艣膰, nie chc膮c powrotu pod wp艂ywy Rosji.

Po drugiej stronie stoi rosyjski oligarcha. Jest on got贸w zrobi膰 wszystko, by nie odda膰 w艂adzy, i przygotuje si臋 do sfa艂szowania nadchodz膮cych wybor贸w, tak jak przej膮艂 kontrol臋 nad ca艂ym pa艅stwem. Demokracja w Gruzji jest w 艣miertelnym niebezpiecze艅stwie. Za nieco ponad dwa tygodnie zmierzymy si臋 z re偶imem, kt贸ry przegra艂 wybory, ale nie uzna ich wynik贸w, prawdopodobnie t艂umi膮c setki tysi臋cy protestuj膮cych, aresztuj膮c tysi膮ce i by膰 mo偶e u偶ywaj膮c 艣miertelnej si艂y. To klasyczne d茅j脿 vu z Bia艂orusi i Wenezueli.

Nie pozw贸lcie, by kraj, kt贸ry kiedy艣 zachwyci艂 艣wiat rewolucj膮 r贸偶, zosta艂 tragicznie oddzielony od swego prawdziwego marzenia o przynale偶no艣ci do Europy. Przepraszam, to s膮 s艂owa prezydenta Saakaszwilego. Przyjed藕cie, obserwujcie wybory. Wyra藕cie swoje poparcie dla narodu gruzi艅skiego. Sprawcie, by wasz g艂os zabrzmia艂 g艂o艣niej ni偶 wcze艣niej...

(Przewodnicz膮ca odebra艂a m贸wczyni g艂os)

听听Urmas Paet, on behalf of the Renew Group. 鈥� Mr President, dear colleagues, when I visited Georgia 鈥� which was under Russian invasion 鈥� in August 2008 and walked in the empty city of Gori, I hoped for a quick withdrawal of Russian troops from Georgia and for a clear future of Georgia in Europe.

Unfortunately, it did not happen that way. Russia still occupies part of Georgia, and Georgia is currently moving away from Europe. But the majority of people in Georgia still want to see their country's future in Europe. This is one of the reasons why the EU named Georgia as its candidate country.

Unfortunately, Georgia's current government is working against this. In the recent years, Georgia has moved further away from the EU and increased Russia's direct influence on Georgia's choices. Georgia's adoption of the Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence and others are tools used by the government to violate freedom of expression, censor media, impose restrictions on critical voices in civil society.

It is clear that until such legislation is removed, there will be no progress in the relations with the European Union. Georgia's attitude towards Russia in today's world and circumvention of European sanctions is also an example that Georgia is not ready to align itself with the EU's foreign policy.

But it is not yet too late for Georgia to change its course and above all, for the sake of its own people, show that Georgia is serious about its return to Europe.

听听Reinier Van Lanschot, on behalf of the Verts/ALE Group. 鈥� Mr听President, Kartlis Deda 鈥� mother of Georgians; her statue on top of Sololaki Hill in Tbilisi shows the spirit of Georgia. In one hand a bowl of wine, because guests are welcomed like family; a sword in the other, because if you come in bad faith, they will resist.

Sakartvelo:听a country whose proud people speak an ancient language, and can tell you beautiful stories about their diverse people and more than 4听000 years of history. Throughout those years, Georgians have chosen to fight for their freedom. And we see that same fight reflected today in Georgia's civil society, who are resisting the attacks on democracy by Georgian Dream, the political party that is creating a Russian nightmare. They attack civil society, journalists and minorities. They want to ban opposition parties and embrace Russia, which still occupies parts of Georgia. They spread disinformation and lies, pretending that Russia equals peace and the EU equals war. They lie because they are afraid of the Georgian people and afraid of democracy, because a good democracy jails corrupt leaders, confiscates their money and takes away their power.

The upcoming election will define Georgia for generations, and there is a new generation of young leaders who can build an open culture and parliamentary democracy. They will be the ones that can lead Georgia into the EU. As this resolution shows, they can count on our support, just like the support that we've seen for them in Georgian society: hundreds of thousands of Georgians in the streets in one massive celebration, the image of a country that just received EU candidate status. Those same people protested autocracy last year. And just like the support of Nana Malashkhia. She was 鈥� in defiance of fierce police water cannons 鈥� waving a European flag.

听听Danilo Della Valle, a nome del gruppo The Left. 鈥� Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, quando i gruppi di maggioranza di questo Parlamento affrontano i temi di politica estera, vengono fuori tutti i doppi standard e le ipocrisie dell'Unione europea.

La Georgia 猫 un paese che si sta avvicinando all'Unione europea. Ha cominciato il processo di adesione e questo ha scatenato un grande entusiasmo da parte di tutti i cittadini, entusiasmo che noi non possiamo non vedere e apprezzare.

Questo processo rappresenta un'opportunit脿 per implementare la nostra presenza in quella regione e per rafforzare i processi di dialogo, di cooperazione e di diplomazia, interrotti dallo scoppio della guerra in Ucraina.

Invece qui qualcuno vuole utilizzare questo processo di adesione per imporre ai paesi come la Georgia la visione geopolitica dettata dalla Nato e dagli Stati Uniti, arrivando persino a minacciare il congelamento degli accordi e dei finanziamenti nel caso in cui l'esito del voto alle elezioni politiche non sia in linea con le nostre richieste. Questa si chiama ingerenza su un voto che si terr脿 da qui a poche settimane, ma che la vostra miope visione sta provando a utilizzare come leva nel conflitto tra Russia e Ucraina.

Noi mettiamo in guardia: il giochetto di seguire pedissequamente la politica estera degli Stati Uniti e della NATO pu貌 essere mortale per l'Unione europea. L'Europa si deve fare promotrice di processi di pace, cooperazione e dialogo, soprattutto a livello regionale.

Il rispetto della volont脿 popolare 猫 il primo passo per costruire relazioni virtuose all'interno del contesto democratico europeo. Questo non impedisce la possibilit脿 di esprimere critiche quando si sbaglia. Ad esempio, noi non abbiamo paura di criticare la legge contro la comunit脿 LGBT in Georgia. Cos矛 come vogliamo essere chiari, ancora una volta: chi governer脿 Tiblisi non potr脿 essere deciso n茅 a Washington, n茅 a Mosca, n茅 tantomeno a Strasburgo, ma devono essere i georgiani a decidere liberamente il proprio futuro e chi lo governer脿.

听听Hans Neuhoff, im Namen der ESN-Fraktion. 鈥� Herr Pr盲sident, Kolleginnen und Kollegen der vereinigten 脰ko鈥慙inken! Sie emp枚ren sich nunmehr 眉ber ein Gesetz, welches das georgische Parlament zum Schutz der Familienwerte und der Minderj盲hrigen verabschiedet hat. Darf ich fragen, ob Sie dieses Gesetz 眉berhaupt gelesen haben? Nichts darin rechtfertigt Ihren abstrusen Entschlie脽ungsentwurf.

Die Wahrheit ist: Sie haben nicht Angst um die Demokratie, sondern vor der Demokratie in Georgien. Sie k枚nnen es nicht ertragen, wenn sich ein Parlament Ihre Regenbogenpropaganda nicht zu eigen macht und stattdessen die Zweigeschlechtlichkeit des Menschen zur Grundlage der familienst盲ndischen Regelungen erkl盲rt. Sie ma脽en sich an, Naturgesetze durch Parlamentsmehrheiten au脽er Kraft setzen zu wollen. Sie zelebrieren einen Unfruchtbarkeitskult als paneurop盲isches Stra脽enfest, w盲hrend die Geburtenraten in unseren L盲ndern auf einen historischen Tiefstand sinken.

Kolleginnen und Kollegen der vereinigten 脰ko鈥慙inken! Respektieren Sie das Interventionsverbot des V枚lkerrechts. Respektieren Sie Georgiens Souver盲nit盲t, sein Recht, die politische F眉hrung selbst zu w盲hlen und seine Gesetze selbst zu machen. Nehmen Sie Abschied vom gr眉nen Narrenschiff und kehren Sie zur眉ck in die Wirklichkeit.

听听Michael Gahler (PPE). 鈥� Mr President, colleagues, I'm not anticipating at this stage a verdict on the qualities of the upcoming elections. For that, we have an OSCE long-term mission who are doing a professional job. I simply expect the competent authorities to apply the existing laws for elections in a proper, fair and professional way.

The Georgians will, indeed, decide on their own which path they would like to proceed, and it is my impression thus far that they have embraced this path to the European Union, because that is the perspective that has something for every citizen, in every country. There is not a single country that is worse off today than it was before they entered the European Union. And they also do not need the American engagement or interference in order to be motivated to go the European path.

We, as Europeans, accept the path and the decision that a free people takes for their future. That is the difference to Russia, which does not accept that. And in so far, I am confident that through this process that is now ongoing, the people will make a very clear decision and tell the world and all who would like to listen what Georgia's path is. All the best for this election, Sakartvelo.

听听Nacho S谩nchez Amor (S&D). 鈥� Se帽or presidente, se帽ora comisaria, en pol铆tica no se trata solo sobre la sustancia de un asunto, sino tambi茅n sobre el sentido de la oportunidad, sobre el cu谩ndo. Y esta Resoluci贸n, como la anterior sobre Moldavia, d铆as antes de las elecciones en estos dos pa铆ses, es inoportuna y puede ser contraproducente. El Parlamento ha evitado siempre pronunciarse sobre pa铆ses en los que se van a celebrar elecciones para no ser acusado de interferencia en esas elecciones. Esta Resoluci贸n, con independencia de su contenido cr铆tico que nosotros apoyamos, como ha dicho mi colega Mikser, va a ser usada por el Gobierno de Georgia y por Rusia como una prueba de la interferencia de Occidente. Es, en realidad, un regalo para las fuerzas nacionalistas y antieuropeas, como nos han profetizado los colegas de extrema derecha que han hablado.

Este es un debate sobre el retroceso democr谩tico. Hay trece menciones a las elecciones. 隆Trece menciones a las elecciones! En estas condiciones, 驴c贸mo van a presentarse los observadores electorales de este Parlamento dentro de unos d铆as en Georgia? 驴Van a ser considerados objetivos, profesionales y neutrales? 驴Y los negociadores, enmendantes, oradores y los que van a votar esta referencia van a ser considerados neutrales por esos pa铆ses? Lo dudo y, por tanto, la consecuencia es da帽o para la imagen de la Uni贸n Europea y el Parlamento, da帽o para la credibilidad de nuestras observaciones electorales y riesgo de ser acusados de interferir.

Podr铆amos haber esperado un mes y haber aprobado exactamente lo mismo sin haber incurrido en estos riesgos.

听听Rihards Kols (ECR). 鈥� Mr听President, dear colleagues, what we are witnessing in Georgia is nothing short of a deliberate attempt at dismantling democracy. The so-called transparency of the foreign influence law, along with the recent legislative changes, are not just misguided, they are dangerous.

These laws have sent a chilling signal not only to the Georgian people, but also to the international community. Laws modelled after Russia's playbook now poised to stifle opposition and restrict free expression.

I stand in solidarity with the Georgian people who overwhelmingly support EU integration. Yet the actions of the current government jeopardise this future. It is vital that the upcoming elections adhere to the highest standards of transparency, fairness and freedom. Anything less risks further alienating Georgia from its European path. But let me be clear: while the government may attempt to manipulate narratives, the Georgian people's aspirations for the democratic, pro-European future cannot and will not be silenced. Their democratic will must prevail.

(The speaker agreed to take a blue-card question)

听听Alessandro Zan (S&D), domanda "cartellino blu". 鈥� Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, prima il collega di SN ha preso in giro la cosiddetta ecosinistra unita. Io direi che loro sono la destra fascista unita perch茅 quello che 猫 successo in Georgia 猫 un fatto grave. 脠 stata approvata una gravissima legge di discriminazione della comunit脿 LGBTQI+, che vieta la registrazione di qualsiasi unione alternativa al matrimonio, proibisce tutti gli interventi medici di riassegnazione del genere, vieta addirittura alle emittenti televisive di trasmettere scene di affetto...

(Il Presidente toglie la parola all'oratore)

听听Rihards Kols (ECR), blue-card answer. 鈥� Well, very simply, I didn't hear any question, so thank you.

听听Petras Au拧trevi膷ius (Renew). 鈥� Mr President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, the actions of the Georgian authorities took the country in a different 鈥� non-European, non-Western 鈥� direction. The Georgian Government has abandoned its previous commitments to the nation and turned to the path of eastern populism.

The public hysteria created by the ruling Georgian Dream party over so-called 'family values' only confirms its decision to pander to ultra-radical populism. I also repeat on this occasion our joint call for the urgent and unconditional release of President Mikheil Saakashvili.

The actions of those in power to provoke antagonism with the West have had their effect. Political dialogue with the European Union, with the United States of America, has largely ceased and the Georgian authorities have confined themselves to the summit of Mount Kazbek.

The upcoming elections are an opportunity for Georgia to restore its European dream. I call on the Georgian people to reject the dangerously destructive manipulation from Russia. Europe is where you belong.

听听Mark茅ta Gregorov谩 (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Mr听President, colleagues, Commissioner, I've always had a special place in my heart for Georgia, and I had high hopes for its European path.

The Georgian Government, however, had different plans. A series of actions and laws proposed and adopted prove that the current government has no interest in the European future. It is shifting its policies to be tighter with Russia and even changing its laws to become a conduit for Russian oligarchs. I can just wish that Georgian citizens, who predominantly see their future in the European Union, will also see who is leading them away from it, and I wish them strength into the upcoming weeks.

However, I am also part of the European institutions. We are not bystanders, we are involved. We granted candidate status and we can take it away. We granted visa liberalisation and we can take it away. We delayed individual sanctions in a hope we won't lose Georgia to its occupant, Russia. But we are losing and we cannot lead the fight 鈥� yes, as we are not Putin and the ever-interfering Kremlin 鈥� it is for the Georgian citizens and politicians to lead the fight. But we can surely aid them in their fight. We can make it more difficult for Russia to take over. We have so many examples of Europe being too late to the fight. Can we for once be on time?

(The speaker agreed to take a blue-card question)

听听Ond艡ej Dost谩l (NI), ot谩zka polo啪en谩 zvednut铆m modr茅 karty. 鈥� Vy jste ozna膷ila ty z谩kony za prorusk茅. Co je 拧patn茅ho na z谩konech proti zahrani膷n铆mu vlivu?

听听Mark茅ta Gregorov谩 (Verts/ALE), blue-card answer. 鈥� (Start of speech off mic) ...听not an option, I assume? So I will answer in English because I understood my Czech colleague, of course, very well. Well, the difference is that the Georgian law of foreign agents is actually drafted based on how the Russian law is, and not how the US or the potential European laws. They are completely different. These laws need to be very sensitive in how they are drafted, so they are not against NGOs and, of course, any public involvement. And the Russian, of course, is drafted so that it diminishes and suppresses any public involvement. So yes, the Georgian Dream colleagues that drafted this drafted it, and we saw it, paragraph after paragraph, based on the Russian law. So that's the difference. Thank you for being able to clarify, thanks to your question, because there's a lot of confusion about it, even among my colleagues here.

Leggi accompagnate da intimidazioni e minacce contro l'opposizione, la stampa e la societ脿 civile.

Per fortuna in Georgia c'猫 una straordinaria societ脿 civile di cui ammiriamo il coraggio, scesa in piazza chiedendo libert脿 e sventolando la bandiera europea. Questo Parlamento sar脿 sempre vicino al popolo georgiano e come Socialisti e Democratici non vediamo l'ora di accoglierlo nella grande famiglia europea.

Perch茅 ci貌 avvenga devono esserci democrazia e libert脿, diritti che tutelino tutti i cittadini, senza discriminazione. L'Europa 猫 questo e il processo di integrazione potr脿 proseguire quindi solo se chi governa cesser脿 di intimidire i suoi oppositori e canceller脿 quelle leggi.

Wir reden davon, dass hier Rechtsextreme von der Souver盲nit盲t Georgiens sprechen, aber meinen, Georgien soll sich Putin unterwerfen. Sie sind gegen fremde Einfl眉sse und gleichzeitig freuen sie sich 眉ber die Einfl眉sse Putins. Sie freuen sich dar眉ber, dass Georgien ein russisches Gesetz verabschiedet hat, das den Georgiern schadet.

Diese Herrschaften wollen nicht zur Kenntnis nehmen, dass die Georgier eben Europ盲erinnen und Europ盲er sind und dass sie auch in Frieden und Freiheit leben wollen. Sie stehen f眉r Demokratie. Sie w眉nschen sich ein lebendiges politisches System, bei dem sie mitreden k枚nnen. Sie w眉nschen sich nat眉rlich auch, dass ihr Land geeint ist, dass ihr Land wieder gemeinsam leben kann und es keine besetzten Gebiete mehr gibt.

Ich glaube, wir m眉ssen einfach sehen, dass dieser russische Einfluss gerade den Georgiern so massiv schadet. Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde in Georgien, Ihr m眉sst um eure Freiheit, Ihr m眉sst um eure Unabh盲ngigkeit k盲mpfen, aber Ihr k枚nnt davon ausgehen: Wir stehen auf Eurer Seite.

听听Leoluca Orlando (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, la Georgia, sin dal 2004 con la presidenza di Mikheil Saakashvili, ha chiesto di far parte dell'Unione europea come Stato membro, libero, democratico, non certamente come colonia dell'Unione europea. Tale posizione ha appesantito pressioni volte a bloccare progresso democratico, libert脿 di stampa e di genere, riforme, e ci貌 anche con l'invasione militare russa dell'agosto 2008 e con le conseguenti azioni di condizionamento della politica interna georgiana.

Oggi Saakashvili 猫 stato privato della cittadinanza georgiana. 脠 sottoposto a un carcere duro, nonostante le sue gravi condizioni di salute. Negli ultimi anni i governi che si sono succeduti hanno anche messo in discussione e vanificato riforme innovative e azioni di contrasto alla corruzione.

La Georgia 猫 oggi pi霉 lontana che vent'anni fa dall'Europa ed 猫 esposta all'influenza della Russia che preme al confine caucasico con il proprio esercito e controlla regioni come la Abkhazia e la Ossezia del Sud, soltanto nominalmente appartenenti alla Repubblica georgiana.

L'attenzione del Parlamento europeo, come la risoluzione opportunamente ricorda, dovr脿 essere molto forte dopo le elezioni del prossimo 26 ottobre, che ci si augura si svolgano regolarmente, e dovr脿 interloquire non soltanto con il governo ma anche con la societ脿 civile georgiana, libera di esprimere consenso all'Unione europea, ma che si trova purtroppo condizionata da un apparato di interessi finanziari e politici filorussi.

La Georgia deve essere sostenuta in un cammino di autonomia e indipendenza, che in passato ha dovuto subire l'impero degli zar e l'Unione Sovietica e che oggi subisce le mire imperialistiche dell'attuale governo russo.

听听Ond艡ej Dost谩l (NI). 鈥� Mr听President, ladies and gentlement, you speak a lot about Russian interference in Georgia, but EU leaders are now conducting a huge intervention in the Georgian election themselves, questioning the results before it even happens, questioning whether the right party wins. That means if Georgian Dream wins, it is wrong. If opposition loses, it is wrong. Isn't this a hypocrisy?

I doubt that the EU should intervene in the internal politics of its Member States, like Hungary or Slovakia. I am completely sure that the EU should not interfere in domestic affairs of Georgia. Most Georgians want to cooperate with the EU, but they also do business with China. They also do not want to get in war with Russia. It was it would be very destructive for them, like in the case of Ukraine. I think instead of meddling into Georgian affairs, we should understand that the Georgians know their interests better than we do.

听听Ond艡ej Kol谩艡 (PPE). 鈥� Mr President, dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, I would firstly like to remind my colleague that it's actually Russia that is interfering with Georgian affairs, because Russia is occupying one fifth of Georgian territory.

Anyway, two years ago, when I was in Georgia with our national parliamentary delegation, during the meetings that we had with officials, members of the opposition and the civic society, I unfortunately gained an impression that the ruling party is actually playing games with us and that the opposition is helping that by being unable to unite and to really oppose the ruling party's actions.

Despite their assurances, the ruling politicians had set up on a path which leads away from Europe and towards Russia. Much has been said about the legislation, which is more or less a copy-paste version of Russian anti-freedom and anti-democracy laws.

During my aforementioned visit, I always referred to the EU as a space of freedom, democracy and prosperity and I feel that it is our duty to stabilise this space and to enlarge it: the bigger we are, the stronger we are. That is the truth.

Sometimes I hear that we are not at war with Russia. Unfortunately, we are fighting a hybrid war with Russia 鈥� a war for, among other things, influence. And if we lose Georgia, we lose one of the battles for our space of freedom and shared values, and we will be left with another state at our doorstep which is hostile to us and mainly to its citizens.

Georgia cannot afford that and we cannot afford that.

听听Francisco Assis (S&D). 鈥� Senhor Presidente, o povo da Ge贸rgia 茅 inquestionavelmente um povo europeu, e se h谩 uma aspira莽茫o que atravessa esse povo 茅 a aspira莽茫o de pertencerem 脿 Uni茫o Europeia. Nunca devemos perder de vista esta aspira莽茫o, este desejo genu铆no de liberdade, de democracia, de afastamento da Federa莽茫o Russa e tudo o que esta vontade representa.

N茫o h谩 muito como vermos as bandeiras da Uni茫o Europeia nas ruas e pra莽as da Ge贸rgia. 脡, ali谩s, mais uma prova de que o projeto europeu n茫o 茅 um projeto em decl铆nio, como alguns gostam de proclamar fora e dentro da Uni茫o Europeia.

脡 verdade que o atual governo da Ge贸rgia tem cometido, do nosso ponto de vista, erros graves. Tem adotado leis que restringem direitos e liberdades fundamentais e f谩-lo, ainda por cima, invocando os valores europeus tradicionais, entrando assim em contradi莽茫o com os valores europeus que est茫o na base da Uni茫o Europeia e a fundamentam.

Mas, se isso 茅 verdade, tamb茅m temos de ter o cuidado de evitar determinadas atitudes e iniciativas que podem ser interpretadas como tentativa de interfer锚ncia no processo democr谩tico interno georgiano. A pior coisa que nos pode acontecer 茅 precisamente isso 鈥� 茅 sermos acusados de estar indevidamente a tentar condicionar a liberdade do povo georgiano.

De qualquer modo, a nossa solidariedade com o povo da Ge贸rgia 茅 uma solidariedade inquestion谩vel.

听听Brigitte van den Berg (Renew). 鈥� Mr听President, we saw it last May, the Georgian youth dancing around the European flag. This sent out such a strong message to us. This youth wants to be part of Europe, but unfortunately their government chooses something else. They applied for EU membership, but at the same time, they are drifting further and further away from EU values, and straight into the arms of Putin. Their last attack on the queer community is just another example of the slippery slope that Georgia is in.

We, as liberals, really want to give Georgia that European perspective, but especially with the Georgian elections only three weeks away, I want to state abundantly clear that this Georgian Government is jeopardising the European future of Georgia. But whatever happens, the youth still deserves our support. So I want to ask the Commissioner: can we please commit to keep supporting that youth that longs for the European future?

听听Riho Terras (PPE). 鈥� Mr听President, colleagues, the situation with regard to democracy in Georgia has been deteriorating for more than a decade now. In the early years of the Ivanishvili Government, he and his subordinates declared the continuation of the Euro-Atlantic path and democratic reforms.

We have hosted numerous delegations of our Georgian colleagues from the opposition in this House and they have warned us from the very beginning: please stay vigilant, for the Ivanishvili regime is there to grab the power.

Elections after elections, we have witnessed more violent incidents and campaign events initiated by people close to the regime. Opposition leaders are being put in prison and free media is being muzzled. A recent announcement by Prime Minister Kobakhidze about banning the opposition should Georgian Dream win the upcoming elections are not just an alarming sign, it is evidence of dictatorship waiting for its chance.

We must not only condemn the actions of the ruling regime, but give a very clear signal by imposing sanctions on people and organisations responsible for the demise of democracy in Georgia. And we should start with the mastermind, oligarch Ivanishvili, to set the example.

听听Rapha毛l Glucksmann (S&D). 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, Madame la Vice-pr茅sidente, chers coll猫gues, le c艙ur du peuple g茅orgien bat pour l鈥橢urope.

听听Dainius 沤alimas (Renew). 鈥� Mr President, dear colleagues, Georgia now is at the front line. We all are witnessing the attack against European values by the current Georgian Government imposing Russo-fascist narratives.

This is evident from the Foreign Agent Law, anti-LGBT legislation, the abolishment of gender quotas in elections and the so-called 'family values package'. Not a single recommendation of the Venice Commission has been taken into account. Moreover, those legislative measures were taken without consultation with civil society, and they completely ignore the national constitution, including the aim to become a fully fledged member of the European Union.

However Russo-fascism in Georgia can be defeated. We must play here a decisive role by, first, insisting on fair parliamentary elections without the use of administrative resources and pressure on the opposition by the ruling party. Second, we must request accountability, including personal sanctions on those responsible for Georgia's democratic backsliding. Third, we must provide support to all the democratic, pro-European political forces, including promising parties such as For Georgia.

Together, we must bring Georgia back to a path of democracy and the rule of law. It's time to do all we can to remove Georgia from the claws of Russia.

听听Tobias Cremer (S&D). 鈥� Mr听President, foreign agents law to curtail the rights of civil society, an offshore law that favours shady oligarchs and helps them avoid sanctions, a law for family values that curtails the rights of minorities, systematic disinformation sponsored by the Kremlin.

What is happening in Georgia right now is not only a dangerous moment of democratic backsliding, but it is a stark reminder of the broader struggle between democratic values and authoritarian control not just in Georgia, but in Europe and across the globe. Certain powerful actors within Georgia seem to believe that by flouting democratic principles, they can provoke us, the EU, to close the door on Georgia's European aspirations. They hope to turn the Georgian dream of Europe into a Georgian nightmare under the shadow of the Kremlin.

But this plan will fall. It will fall because the gates of Europe, the gates of freedom, will always remain wide open to the Georgian people, and because the heart of the Georgian people keeps beating for Europe. It is our duty to ensure that the Georgian people have the right to walk through these gates freely, without coercion, because that is what it means to be European.

听听Ivars Ijabs (Renew). 鈥� Mr President, Madam Vice-President, dear colleagues, I think that the case of Georgia calls for reassessing our approach to the candidate countries as a whole. I'm talking mainly about the influence of authoritarian third countries. The EU has, unfortunately, often quietly observed the growing influence of Putin's Russia in countries like Georgia 鈥� but also in some other candidate countries, like Serbia 鈥� by means of corruption, by means of disinformation, by means of covert terrorist activity.

Now, in the Georgian case, we have to move fast because elections are approaching in a few weeks. And the main task, I think, now is to send a clear message to the Georgian citizens: you can't be pro-EU and Putinist at the same time. Do not destroy your achievements. This is not just about candidate status or visa liberalisation. This is very much about the future of Georgia as a free, democratic and European country.

听听Thijs Reuten (S&D). 鈥� Mr听President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, arguably, nowhere in Europe you see more Ukrainian flags than in Tbilisi. The people of Georgia stand in solidarity with Ukraine in their courageous fight against Russian aggression. A struggle the Georgians understand all too well.

Yet, Georgia is torn. There is a government moving away from the EU path, implementing laws that counter European democratic values and fundamental rights, such as LGBTQI rights. And we have the Georgian people, civil society, clearly and passionately advocating for Georgia's EU future.

I think the Commission and Council too long, in the spring, continued with expressing concern. But I appreciate your clear statement today on the need to restore credibility. So please keep supporting the young generation and civil society in Georgia.

听听Micha艂 Wawrykiewicz (PPE). 鈥� Madam President, Madam Vice-President, dear colleagues, as the Georgian nation strives to become a part of the European Union, the democratic backsliding that we are facing there should concern us. What is happening in Georgia mirrors the patterns we have seen in authoritarian countries like Russia or Belarus, or in Member States that have embarked on the autocratic path, namely Hungary under Fidesz or Poland under Law and Justice.

We know that leaders of liberal regimes learn from each other, implementing similar autocratic methods and narratives. Therefore the Georgian Dream Party is using similar tactics like autocrats all over Europe to dismantle the system of checks and balances that safeguards democracy and the rule of law in Georgia. Hence we must draw lessons from what we have already painfully learned. We need to clearly and promptly condemn the dismantling of checks and balances, and show our support and solidarity with the civil society that protests and the civil society that defends the rule of law and democracy.

As a Pole, I see many similarities between the Georgian situation right now and Poland's situation a few years ago. And I believe that with our support, Georgia can get back on the democratic path, just like Poland did one year ago.

Ma dobbiamo, come Europa, condannare fermamente il governo georgiano e la maggioranza di quel paese, sapendo per貌 che anche in Europa hanno approvato leggi, come in Bulgaria, in Slovacchia, ma anche in Italia, una risoluzione contro la comunit脿 LGBTQI+, utilizzando il tema della propaganda.

This is also the strong wish of the people of Georgia.

The future of Georgia, including its EU path, is fully in the hands of its citizens and leaders. Ahead of the parliamentary elections, it is important that political leaders reduce polarisation and engage positively with the citizens. Elections need to be carried out in a peaceful and inclusive environment.

The EU will continue to monitor all developments in the country. Though progress on the EU path depends on democratic and sustainable reforms in line with the core principles of European integration, upholding political diversity, human rights, a vibrant civil society and independent media are also central to the enlargement process.

The EU's door remains open and we stand ready to support the country in all reform efforts, but we will clearly denounce any actions that may undermine democracy, human rights and the rule of law. This is all for the benefit of the Georgian people.
