**Civil Platform for Peace Calls on Georgian Dream to Stop EU Integration Sabotage**
A group of civil society organizations and experts have spoken out against the ruling Georgian Dream party’s decision not to open negotiations with the European Union. They say this move is a direct contradiction to Georgia’s Constitution and the will of its people.
The civil platform “For Peace” calls on Georgian Dream to end violence against peaceful demonstrators and return the country’s integration process back to its constitutional framework. The group also protests against the party’s decision not to open negotiations with the EU, which they see as a rejection of European integration.
Georgia has made significant progress in its pursuit of peaceful conflict resolution, with successful European integration being a key part of this process. However, the recent suspension of the EU integration process by Georgian Dream has caused concern among civil society groups.
The platform notes that Georgia’s isolation from the international community is increasing due to anti-Western policies pursued by Georgian Dream. This has made it difficult for the country to get support and financial aid from the EU, as well as to extend visa-free travel benefits to Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
**Groups Call on Georgian Dream to Change Course**
The signatories of the statement include several civil society organizations, experts, and business leaders. They urge Georgian Dream to stop sabotaging the European integration process and cease actions that undermine peaceful conflict resolution.
The groups also demand an end to violence against peaceful demonstrators protesting the latest anti-Western move by Georgian Dream and call for the process to be returned to a constitutional framework.
**Statement Signatories**
The statement has been signed by a number of civil society organizations and experts, including:
* Georgia’s Reforms Associates (GRASS)
* Social Justice Center
* Studio Re
* Coalition for IDP Rights
And many others.
