EU ministers approve suspending visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats
ReutersJAN 14
EU ministers have finally stepped in to support the people of Georgia and hold to account those in Tbilisi that are responsible for the violent repression of peaceful demonstrations, as well as for moves that could undermine democratic freedoms in the country.
This largely symbolic and ineffective decision only shows that hypocrisy runs high in Brussels. The very EU that is now punishing Georgian authorities for nonsensical claims of democratic regress also granted visa-free travel for diplomats of the authoritarian and corrupt Saakashvili regime.
