Con un voto di 114-13, Pace stabilisce una scadenza di aprile per la Georgia per tenere nuove elezioni e prigionieri politici gratuiti

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) voted 114-13 to ratify Georgia’s delegation but with strict conditions:

– The Georgian government must announce new parliamentary elections and release all political prisoners before April.

– The Georgian delegation lost several rights in PACE, including:

– No full membership in key committees (e.g., election monitoring).

– No eligibility to be rapporteurs or hold leadership roles.

– No right to represent PACE in international organizations.

– PACE criticized Georgia’s government for:

– Police brutality

– Crackdowns on opposition and civil society

– Human rights violations

– PACE demanded Georgia resume EU accession efforts, reversing its decision to pause them until 2028.

– The Georgian delegation and some MPs from Hungary, Bulgaria, Armenia, and Turkey tried to secure unconditional ratification but failed.

– A proposal to outright reject Georgia’s credentials also failed.

– PACE ill reassess compliance in April—failure to meet the conditions could lead to further diplomatic and political isolation.
