Social Media Council Georgia’s Post

Nina Shengelia, disinformation expert and founding member of the Social Media Council of Georgia (SMCG), recently recorded an insightful podcast with Marko Mihkelson, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Estonian Parliament. The discussion centered around the geopolitical challenges faced by Georgia, its potential for European integration, and the ongoing threat posed by Russian influence. Mihkelson shared his perspectives on the critical role that Estonia, as an EU member state, plays in supporting Georgia’s European aspirations. He emphasized the importance of Georgia’s alignment with European values and institutions, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the broader struggle for democracy in the region. The conversation also touched on the importance of combating disinformation, a subject close to Shengelia’s expertise, and its impact on both internal political stability and Georgia’s international standing. Listeners can expect a deep dive into how smaller Eastern European nations like Estonia can assist Georgia in navigating the complex dynamics of Russian interference and the EU’s hesitations in offering full membership to countries with ongoing political instability. The podcast serves as a powerful tool for understanding the delicate balance between national sovereignty, European integration, and the external pressures from Russia and other regional actors.
