Standing with people of #Georgia We are deeply alarmed by the violent repression of peaceful demonstrators in Georgia in response to the government’s suspension of the #EU accession process until 2028. Peaceful protests have been met with excessive violence, leading to injuries, detentions and growing repression. Citizens have the right to express their political views without fear of harm or retaliation. 📢 We urge EU leaders to condemn these actions and call for dialogue and respect for human rights. Violence is never the answer. Caritas Georgia - საქართველოს კარიტასი Read our statement ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eSFrUyVa #HumanRights #Democracy #Peace #FreedomOfExpression #EU

🌍 The EU’s material footprint exceeds sustainable limits. If all of us consumed like Europeans, we’d need 3 planets to sustain us. As #COP29 wraps up, it’s time for Europe to rethink its approach to consumption and resource use. A #JustEconomy isn’t about accumulating more “clean” energy, it’s about respecting our planet’s limits. 👉 Discover more: https://lnkd.in/eWVNuwSW
