The US Ambassador to Georgia, Kelly Degnan spoke about upcoming municipal elections in Georgia, April 19 Agreement, as the roadmap for necessary reforms and the role of Georgia’s political leaders in county’s democratic development and stability.
“It’s important to remember that Georgia is in the middle of election campaigns. People tend to say provocative and extreme things during election campaigns. What is important is that Georgia’s political leaders together negotiated the roadmap, April 19 Agreement that sets out all the reforms that Georgia needs to take to strengthen its democracy, strengthen its economy. These are all important steps for Georgia’s future. All the mechanisms are there, all the reforms are clear. These are some of the most important reforms to begin the process of strengthening Georgia’s democracy. The only thing lacking right now is the political will. If Georgia’s political leaders truly want to end polarization in this country, they have the roadmap to do that,” – said M-me Ambassador.
She has repeatedly called for fulfilling the commitments that Georgian Dream and opposition leaders assumed under the agreement, particularly after the ruling party decided to withdraw from it.
