Gvaramia was convicted of abuse of power and sentenced to over three years in prison in 2022 in a case that the EU and U.S. said could have been “politically motivated.” He was released last summer after being pardoned by pro-Western President Salome Zurabishvili. Earlier on Thursday, authorities in the South Caucasus country searched the homes of two researchers with the Atlantic Council, a U.S. think tank. Police reportedly confiscated phones and computers at the apartments of Eto Buziashvili and Sopo Gelava, who monitor disinformation and Russian influence in Georgia. A report published by the think tank’s Digital Forensic Research…

In the face of that blunt onslaught, civil society figures have called on the EU to adapt its own communication style.  In Georgia, for example, the ruling party has been “camouflaging itself as a pro-democracy, pro-EU force,” said Buziashvili. The party’s campaign banners feature the European flag and its politicians claim they are preparing Georgia for EU membership in the style of that of Viktor Orban’s Hungary.  She added that such a “deception campaign” calls for clear language and tangible measures like sanctions from Brussels.  “Protesters tell me: We know that we should do our homework in terms of protesting…

Take the upcoming commissioner hearings. For months before their supposedly high-octane public grillings in the European Parliament, commissioner wannabes have been courting EU lawmakers one-to-one, and even meeting whole factions to build warm ties and head off awkward questions. When the hearings eventually happen, everything will already have been said.

Or were the real decisions, in fact, taken at dawn — when…

Climate change is often associated with numbers and scientific reports, but through her photos, Horvath wants to show the humans behind the scientific data. Esther Horvath’s photographs forming the centre of a new exhibition were taken at a research village said to be the epicentre of global warming. She stressed that climate change does not happen overnight. The research observing its effects is arduous and needs patience and Horvath’s photography documents the process.Since the 1990s, more and more women have become involved in that work. “You can be a fragile woman and still love the cold and go on a…

Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed over 42,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not say how many were combatants but says women and children make up more than half the fatalities. An Israeli airstrike on a school housing displaced people sheltering in the central Gaza Strip reportedly killed at least 17 people on Thursday, nearly all women and children, according to Palestinian medical officials. A further 42 people were wounded in the attack, says the Awda Hospital which received the casualties. 13 children were amongst the dead as well as three women, according to the hospital’s records. The Israeli military said…

A similar structure will be applied to the chairs of committees invited to give an opinion. Their assessments will not be binding for the final evaluation.
