La UE se plantea imponer medidas contra Georgia por su deriva autoritaria

The European Union is considering imposing sanctions on Georgia over its controversial foreign agents law, a measure that threatens to halt funding and escalate tensions in bilateral relations. This conflict highlights the vulnerability of democratic institutions to external influences and the urgent need for transparent mechanisms to safeguard the integrity of civil society projects. The central concern lies in the negative impact on civil society organizations, including human rights groups and cooperatives, whose external funding could be severely restricted. This underscores the critical importance of protecting the autonomy of civil society from opaque regulations that seek to limit their operational capacity, ensuring that international collaboration is not used to undermine internal dissent. This case is relevant to open data because it emphasizes the need for radical transparency in funding and government decision-making. Combating disinformation and corruption requires open and accessible data that enable citizens to monitor the flow of funds and foreign influence, thereby strengthening accountability and trust in democratic institutions in the face of authoritarian drift.
