Georgian Parliament official: European Commission survey shows high public trust in Georgian Government

Archil Gorduladze, the Chair of the Georgian Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs, on Thursday commented on a survey published by the European Commission, saying the findings had dealt a blow to what he described as “EU bureaucracy”.

Gorduladze said the survey had “poured cold water” on EU bureaucracy, arguing that its findings contradicted statements and actions by some EU officials.

“We often hear and see statements and actions from their side aimed at separating and dividing the Georgian people and the Georgian Government. Yet their own survey has shown that the Georgian people trust their Government. We have repeatedly heard senior EU officials say that, although the Georgian authorities are acting improperly, they will not abandon the Georgian people”, he said.

“I would therefore advise these senior officials to read their own survey, which clearly shows that the Georgian people trust the Government they elected and that Georgia ranks fifth in Europe in terms of public trust in government”, Gorduladze continued.

He added that surveys conducted without political considerations consistently point to Georgia’s progress.

The World Bank has published the results of the European Commission’s survey as part of its Worldwide Governance Indicators. Under the EuroMonitor project, public opinion polls conducted across nearly 40 European countries were used to compile public trust indices.

According to the survey, the Georgian Government scored 54.1% on a 100-point scale, marking a new record high and placing Georgia among Europe’s top five countries in terms of public trust in government.

In the previous assessment, conducted in 2024, Georgia ranked eighth in Europe. The top five countries in the 2025 assessment were Luxembourg, Denmark, Montenegro, Austria and Georgia.
