The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

EU ministers have finally stepped in to support the people of Georgia and hold to account those in Tbilisi that are responsible for the violent repression of peaceful demonstrations, as well as for moves that could undermine democratic freedoms in the country.

Dw.Com

Establishment-critical narrative

This largely symbolic and ineffective decision only shows that hypocrisy runs high in Brussels. The very EU that is now punishing Georgian authorities for nonsensical claims of democratic regress also granted visa-free travel for diplomats of the authoritarian and corrupt Saakashvili regime.
