Josep Borell says the actions, statements, and election promises made by the ruling party indicate a move away from Europe and towards authoritarianism. Let’s wait until the parliamentary elections to see if this is true.  

The recent actions, election promises and statements of the ruling party move Georgia from the European path and show a transition towards authoritarianism – said Josep Borrell, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy at the press conference after the meeting of EU foreign ministers.
Josep Borell said that the foreign ministers discussed the planned election in Moldova and Georgia.
“Georgia is a more depressing image. The recent actions, election promises and statements of the ruling party move Georgia away from the European Path and point to a shift towards authoritarianism.
