German Konrad Adenauer Foundation shuts Georgia office, cites government pressure

The German Konrad Adenauer Foundation, a democracy-promoting NGO, closed its office in Georgia, attributing the move to the political and legal environment created by the Georgian government. This marks a notable setback for Western civil society engagement in Georgia amid growing concerns over democratic backsliding. The closure signals deepening isolation from Western institutions and may reflect broader tensions between Tbilisi and the EU.
