Georgia's recent adoption of the “Law on the Transparency of Foreign In- fluence” has thrust the nation into uncharted waters. The West’s impending sanctions on the Georgian Government carry significant implications for the country’s future, particularly the outcome of the 2024 October Parliamentary Elections.

 

While Georgians celebrate the National Football Team’s qualification and successful performance at Euro 2024, political weather in the country is getting stormy. Once the jubilation is over, polarization will return, and civil society’s and political opposition’s profound disagreement with the Government over the country’s foreign policy course will set the tone for the upcoming Parliamentary elections. The role of global actors in Georgian elections will be profound, and the instruments the EU and the US will choose to deal with the authoritarian oligarchic regime in Tbilisi will largely determine the country’s trajectory for the next decade.
