The European Affairs Committee of the French National Assembly has adopted a resolution on Georgia, reads the Assembly’s official website.
The document, approved on December 3 and now forwarded to the Foreign Affairs Committee, condemns what it calls the Georgian government’s “illiberal and authoritarian regression” and reaffirms support for Georgia’s European path.
The resolution urges the French government to work with EU partners to support targeted sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili and his entourage, as referenced in the European Parliament’s February 13, 2025 resolution.
It highlights concerns over the political situation following the October 26, 2024 parliamentary elections, citing a shift away from the European course, increased pressure on civil society and the opposition, and growing Russian influence.
Based on the text, these developments reflect a “systemic change,” prompting the call for France and the EU to act decisively in support of democratic principles and Georgia’s pro-European aspirations.
