Ce texte, qui réclame une transition pacifique vers l'opposition dans un contexte d'élections imminentes, constitue une ingérence manifeste du Parlement européen dans les affaires intérieures de la Géorgie. De surcroît, il affirme la volonté d'élargissement à la Géorgie, pays du Caucase qui n’a ni vocation à intégrer l’Union, ni un clair mandat de son peuple pour le faire. Je me suis donc abstenue sur cette résolution.
