Sanctions are the First Strike

🔹Ivanishvili and his financial empire
🔹GD’s corrupt business links in Europe
🔹Oligarchs financing repression
🔹State-controlled media and banks
Cut off their oxygen.

Economic War!
🔹No EU funding for GD-controlled projects
🔹Halt financial transactions for GD elites
🔹Support anti-GD businesses and democratic forces
🔹Increase funding for free media and civil society

New elections—forced by pressure
Georgian Dream rigs every vote. But elections under:
🔹Sanctions
🔹Economic collapse
🔹EU oversight
- They can’t survive.
Europe must demand internationally monitored elections and deny GD legitimacy.

To ensure a democratic Georgia, Europe must massively increase support for:
🔹Independent journalism
🔹Opposition voices
🔹Anti-corruption watchdogs
Without them, sanctions won’t be enough.
