Borrell Urges Georgia to Withdraw Anti-LGBTQ Bill to Support EU Aspirations
Borrell's Stance on Anti-LGBTQ Legislation
Top EU diplomat Josep Borrell is calling for Georgia to eliminate its controversial anti-LGBTQ bill, which he believes undermines the nation’s aspirations to join the European Union. This legislation, labeled a 'family values' bill, has faced widespread condemnation for restricting LGBTQ rights.
Impact on EU Membership
Borrell warned that advancing this bill would adversely impact Georgia's chances of EU accession. As the European bloc prioritizes human rights, movements that threaten these principles can diminish candidacy prospects.
Continued Support for LGBTQ Rights
Advocates argue that support for LGBTQ rights is essential for democratic growth and societal health in Georgia. Ignoring these issues could send a negative signal to both citizens and the international community.
