We believe that the next general elections, scheduled for October 2024, will bring the renewal of the political mandate for Georgian Dream, writes the Speaker of the Parliament in his letter.

“The major achievement that will remain in history is the European Commission’s decision, not the politicking around it.

We have a lot of work ahead. It is good that the communication with the EU over the new nine recommendations appears, this time, to be better structured than before. This gives us good understanding of recommendations so that to measure and codify our progress. We believe that the existing structured dialogue with the EU would actually enhance the efficiency of Georgia’s continuous progress.

Especially interesting is the new clause on disinformation. It may be crucial for Georgia’s political development. This clause is very welcome by Georgian authorities. Manipulation, creation of misperceptions, and outright disinformation are the diseases that poisoned Georgia’s political climate for years. Tackling disinformation will be the most important step forward for ending polarization and radicalization in Georgian politics. Disinformation feeds confrontation in our political life. Diminishing the level of disinformation will help us consolidate our democracy and move more quickly towards the EU.

Georgian government is resolute about achieving the maximum on Georgia’s path of European integration in the coming years. We believe that the next general elections, scheduled for October 2024, will bring the renewal of the political mandate for Georgian Dream to bring Georgia to actual integration into the European Union.

The future is promising. We should seize the opportunity and return Georgia to where it belongs, to the European family of nations”, - writes Shalva Papuashvili.
