**Georgia Stands Up to European Union Blackmail**
The government of Georgia has announced that it will not place the issue of opening negotiations with the European Union on the agenda until 2028. This decision comes after years of what they call “blackmail” and insults from some European politicians and bureaucrats.
**A History of Insults**
Georgia has been trying to join the European Union since the country gained independence in 1991. However, despite its efforts, Georgia has faced opposition from some EU officials who have used various tactics to hinder the process. These include cancelling loans, using candidate status as a tool for blackmail, and interfering in elections.
**No Reforms Required**
The Georgian government says that it is not being asked to make any reforms to join the EU. Instead, they are being asked to renounce their dignity by repealing laws, imposing sanctions, and releasing a convicted politician. The government has rejected these demands and insists that Georgia will only join the EU on its own terms.
**A Path to Dignity**
The Georgian Dream party says that it will continue to work towards joining the EU, but on its own terms. They have announced plans to complete all their commitments under the Association Agreement and the Free Trade Agreement by 2028, using only their own funding. This decision is seen as a bold move to assert Georgia’s dignity in the face of EU pressure.
**A Rebuttal to Blackmail**
The government has accused some European politicians and bureaucrats of trying to blackmail them into accepting certain demands. They say that this approach is insulting and will not be tolerated. The decision to delay negotiations until 2028 is seen as a way to assert Georgia’s independence and dignity in the face of EU pressure.
**A Promise to the People**
The Georgian government has promised its people that by 2030, they will be more prepared for membership of the European Union than any other candidate country. They have vowed to join the EU only through peace, dignity, and prosperity, and not through blackmail or manipulation.
