EU Commission Calls Georgia's Actions an Obstacle to EU Accession

Commission Expresses Concern Over Judicial Reforms and Political Polarisation

Georgia's Path to EU Membership Faces Challenges

In a recent statement, the European Commission has expressed concern over Georgia's actions, calling them an obstacle to the country's aspirations to join the European Union. The Commission's statement highlights concerns regarding judicial reforms and political polarisation in Georgia.

Judicial Reforms

The Commission has raised concerns about the recent judicial reforms undertaken by the Georgian government. These reforms have been criticised for undermining the independence of the judiciary and limiting the rule of law in the country.

Specifically, the Commission has expressed concern over the dismissal of judges and the appointment of new judges who are perceived to be loyal to the ruling party. These actions have raised concerns about the fairness and impartiality of the Georgian judicial system.

Political Polarisation

In addition to judicial reforms, the Commission has also expressed concern over the increasing political polarisation in Georgia. The Commission has called for all political parties to engage in constructive dialogue and to work towards finding common ground.

The Commission believes that political polarisation is a major obstacle to Georgia's EU accession aspirations. The Commission has urged all political parties to put aside their differences and work together to address the challenges facing the country.

EU Accession Process

Georgia has been an EU candidate country since 2014. However, the country's progress towards EU membership has been slow due to a number of factors, including the concerns raised by the European Commission.

The Commission's statement is a reminder of the challenges that Georgia faces on its path to EU membership. The Commission has urged Georgia to address the concerns raised and to implement reforms that will strengthen the rule of law and reduce political polarisation.

The EU accession process is a complex and challenging one. Georgia will need to make significant progress on a number of fronts, including judicial reform and political polarisation, if it wants to achieve its goal of EU membership.
