The resolution on the Commission's 2025 report on Georgia passed by 436 votes to 145 , with 47 abstentions. The winning coalition was led by EPP ( 155 for), Renew ( 61 for), S&D ( 119 for), and Greens/EFA ( 46 for); PfE voted predominantly against ( 68 against), ESN voted against, and The Left was divided, with a majority voting against or abstaining. As a non-legislative own-initiative resolution, this text carries no direct legal force, but it constitutes Parliament's formal political position on Georgia's democratic trajectory and accession process — intended to press the Commission and Council to make EU engagement conditional on democratic standards, and to send a political signal to Tbilisi. Two amendments were put to a vote before the final text. Both were rejected. Am 1, which would have inserted a non-interference clause stressing that Georgia's future must be determined by its own people free from external pressure, was rejected by 396 votes to 159 , opposed by the EPP, S&D, Renew, and Greens/EFA; PfE and The Left voted for it. Am 2, which would have rejected the Commission's suspension of visa-free travel for Georgian diplomatic and official passport holders, was rejected even more decisively by 514 votes to 88 , with near-unanimous opposition across the mainstream and right-wing groups alike. The pattern across the session revealed differences in views between the political centre and the PfE-ESN bloc: the mainstream groups backed a text that maintains conditionality pressure on Georgia's government, while PfE favoured both the non-interference clause and opposition to the diplomatic visa suspension — positions that were voted down by wide margins.
