The Georgian Dream government announced that it will abolish the “Information Center on NATO and EU” on July 1, signaling its growing hostility toward Euro-Atlantic integration and aligning more closely with Kremlin interests. Georgian Dream has sidelined its ambitions for integration into NATO seemingly to appease Russia, and recent rhetoric increasingly positions NATO as ineffective. Georgian Dream leaders cite Ukraine’s experience as justification for Georgia’s passive stance toward the alliance. Georgia’s integration efforts are now visibly stalled, with Georgian Dream officials being excluded from NATO summits, and political signals suggest an impending formal withdrawal from NATO aspirations. Georgian Dream has escalated anti-European propaganda, shifting focus to economic utility while disparaging the European Union’s cultural and political values. Public support for EU membership in Georgia remains high, yet trust in the European Union has reportedly declined, likely due to manipulated polling by government-affiliated agencies.
