EECMD

Happening now! Gathering at the conference today, uniting CSOs, pro-democratic parties, citizens, and independent media to confront the resurgence of the Russian law pushed by Georgian Dream. As voices rise against this threat to democracy, national interests, and EU future.

EECMD condemns the reintroduction of the Russian Law by Georgian Dream. This action undermines the already fragile Georgian democracy and directly contradicts the EU's recommendations for Georgia, thereby jeopardizing Georgia’s European aspirations.

📣We call on the Georgian Parliament to speed up the discussion of the draft law which EECMD and partner political parties submitted on November 21st aiming at enabling the Georgian voters overseas to vote via online methods. 🔗 parliament.ge/en/legislation…

🎉🎀 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!🎄💝

"Real freedom, a functioning democracy, and a representative parliament hinge on addressing three crucial issues: 🇪🇺 politics, immigrant participation, and eliminating violence. Our purpose in gathering today is to discuss common tasks and forge a path forward🤝” @LTsutskiridze

“Politics is the most exciting thing a person can do and we need to open it up to both women and our talented new generation. Without this, we cannot be a civilized, democratic nation” @LTsutskiridze #EECMD

“Despite progress, recent harsh realities against women demand urgent attention. Let's use this conference to explore practical solutions at political and societal levels. Our goal: reduce and eliminate violence against women, and inspire greater youth participation in politics.”

“Politics without women and youth representations means the continuation of dominance, violence, and zero-sum politics, further polarization and fragmentation.” @LTsutskiridze

“ I hope that with the campaign we have launched #EECMD, which I am delighted to have broad cross-party support, we will be able to make progress on immigrant voting rights” @LTsutskiridze

"Let's work together to restore political participation of our immigrants. Online systems are a great avenue, but alternatives exist. The crucial first step is state acknowledgment of the issue. We must provide real opportunities for political engagement.” @LTsutskiridze

"Elections shape our 🇪🇺 path and democracy. Despite a million immigrants vital to our economy, they lack political rights. It's time to correct this oversight and ensure their participation in shaping our collective future. 🗳️🌍 #EECMD #ImmigrantRights" @LTsutskiridze

"🇪🇺 membership is crucial for peace, stability, and economic growth. Let's discuss swift 🇪🇺 integration, identifying key areas for political cooperation and joint action. 🇪🇺🤝 #EUforPeace #futuregoals @LTsutskiridze

We gathered to address three critical issues shaping our country's future: 1⃣ Policy and Governance Reforms for the 🇪🇺 Road 2⃣ Participation in Future Elections and Representativeness 3⃣ gender-based violence in politics. 🌐🗳️ @LTsutskiridze

"I wonder why society remains silent when at least one person in every family lives abroad. It's crucial to empower diaspora representatives, allowing them to actively engage in political life, not just when we need them. 🌎🗳️ #DiasporaVoices #InclusivePolitics" @Zourabichvili_S

"Georgia has forged its path through collective resilience. Without national unity, we cannot effectively defend against external threats. Let's continue to stand united for a stronger future. 🇬🇪🤝 " @Zourabichvili_S

''Governments overlooked expanding voter outreach abroad due to limited embassy staff and political influence concerns. To enhance representation, we need electoral districts in various cities, ensuring a broader impact on voters beyond the homeland.''

"The political spectrum may be polarized, but at its core, 🇬🇪society stands united on key issues: a desire for a 🇪🇺 future for our children and a stance against 🇷🇺 .'' @Zourabichvili_S

''Politics is not a privilege that gives you the right to do whatever you want. Violence against women, whether verbal or physical, sets a dangerous precedent in society. The main obligation of politicians, in addition to patience, is to behave with dignity.'' @Zourabichvili_S

🌍🇬🇪 We're kicking off the international conference - "Georgia's Choice." Join us as we delve into crucial topics like Georgia's 🇪🇺 integration plan, the pre-election landscape, and fostering political participation. 🗳️🤝 #EECMD
