🇬🇪 For over 30 years, the Georgian people have fought for a democratic future with substantial support from Western countries.
While this support has strengthened democratic resilience, external pressure has yet to bring about meaningful political reforms.

🇪🇺 The EU enlargement process is mainly led by national governments and the European Commission, while citizens have limited opportunities to participate.
This raises concerns over democratic legitimacy of the process.

🇪🇺 As the EU faces a complex geopolitical landscape, upholding its fundamental values - such as democracy and human rights - is not just a moral imperative but also a strategic interest.
How can the EU safeguard these values while ensuring long-term security and prosperity?

Finding a balance between security and democracy in wartime is challenging, yet essential not only for Ukraine’s path to EU membership but also for strengthening democratic foundations against Russian influence, argue Giselle Bosse (@gisellebosse.bsky.social) and Iryna Fedoriv.

“The struggle for influence is now increasingly fought online, where the far right aims to convince the youth that outsiders are quietly occupying the country.”

“The political participation of Ghana’s youth tends to be based on needs as opposed to grounded in long-term party loyalty.
This inclination encourages politicians to adopt more solutions-oriented promises to gain the youth’s support.”

“Ethnicity, race, and religion become instruments of othering, while identity-based politics are more effective than ideals-based politics.”

“Two long-standing tactics of the far right are deprioritising youth participation in public policies and criminalising young people who attempt to engage.”

⌛ We close the event with the shifting role of democracy and human rights in EU foreign policy.
“Democracy support is a long-term investment. That is something difficult to translate into immediate results. Whatever we do outside of the EU, we do it also for ourselves”.

💡Richard Youngs from @carnegieeurope.bsky.social presents the key findings from the Review.
🇪🇺 The EU is now more interested in defending #democracy internally. The European Democracy Shield is a positive sign, but how will it be a comprehensive strategy?

💬 “The west must seize this momentum and empower the Georgian people in their fight for democracy.
The west’s comprehensive response will not only shape this resilient nation’s future but also define that of the South Caucasus and the credibility of the US and the EU as defenders of democracies.”
