Georgia’s ruling party accuses EU officials of fuelling political polarisation

Representatives of Georgia’s ruling party, “Georgian Dream”, have accused senior European Union officials of contributing to political polarisation in the country.

According to Caliber.Az, citing Georgian media, party members said certain EU figures are encouraging confrontation in Georgia’s domestic political scene.

Among those named were EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and European Commissioner Marta Kos, whom ruling party representatives accused of exacerbating divisions within Georgian society.

“High-ranking representatives of the Eurobureaucracy are doing everything to create political confrontation in this country, to divide and distance the Georgian people from each other, and to run campaigns of hatred,” said Archil Gorduladze, chair of the parliamentary legal committee.

He also criticised what he described as external support for individuals engaging in hate speech and referred to the involvement of foreign officials in protest-related activities as an “unacceptable diplomatic scandal.”
