German Embassy and Foreign Office express concerns over Family Values bill endorsement
The German Embassy in Georgia shared a remark from the German Foreign Office, expressing concerns over passing the Family Values legislative package by the Georgian parliament.
As the statement mentions, it further distances Georgia from the European Union.
“The legislative package passed by the Georgian parliament is designed to discriminate against LGBTQI people. It infringes on individuals’ civil rights, as pointed out by the Venice Commission, and moves Georgia further away from the EU. We call on Georgia to reverse its course,” the statement notes.
