Georgia's Democracy Collapses Amidst US Sanctions | JQJO

Georgia's democracy is collapsing, shifting away from its pro-Western stance a decade ago. The US is responding with the Megobari Act, imposing sanctions on officials involved in corruption and election fraud. This bipartisan bill aims to counter growing influence from Russia, China, and Iran, as Georgia's ruling party, Georgian Dream, imprisons opposition leaders and cracks down on dissent. While the Georgian people favor Western integration, the government's actions risk further isolating the country and jeopardizing its relationship with the US. The upcoming municipal elections are a crucial test of Georgia's democratic future.
