Georgia Officially Severs Ties with Europe: Withdrawal from PACE
Tbilisi recalls its delegation from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, signaling a major shift in foreign policy.
Georgia has decided to withdraw its representatives from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), marking a significant step toward distancing itself from European institutions.
What Happened?
The Georgian government has announced the recall of its delegation from PACE, further straining relations between Tbilisi and Brussels.
This move can be interpreted as:
- A response to growing dissatisfaction with EU policies toward Georgia.
- A reaction to critical statements from European officials regarding the country's internal affairs.
- A shift toward prioritizing national sovereignty over European integration.
Why Is This Important?
Georgia has long been seen as a country aiming for EU and NATO integration. However, in recent months, relations with Brussels have sharply deteriorated. The Georgian authorities accuse Europe of unfair pressure, unrealistic demands, and interference in domestic affairs.
Potential consequences:
- Further distancing from the West, potentially leading to a more neutral or independent foreign policy.
- A reduction in European financial and diplomatic support.
- Escalation of internal political conflicts between pro-European and nationalist factions.
What’s Next?
Georgia has not yet announced a full withdrawal from the Council of Europe, but recalling its delegation from PACE marks a significant shift in the country's foreign policy direction.
Whether this is the beginning of a full break with European institutions or a temporary assertion of sovereignty will become clear in the coming months.
