Borrell: new law on family values takes Georgia further off the EU path 


EU High Representative Josep Borrell today called on Georgia to withdraw the law on ‘family values and protection of minors’. 

The legislation was adopted yesterday by the Georgian Parliament in its third reading, “further derailing the country from its EU path”, Borrell said in a post on X.

He added that the Georgian Parliament had adopted laws, “which will undermine the fundamental rights of the people and increase discrimination and stigmatisation”.

As for now, Georgia’s accession process is de facto halted. The EU has regularly urged the authorities to recommit to the EU integration path.
