Net harmfulFormula-derived score

The through-line is the 2024 foreign-agent law, protest crackdowns, and Russia-tilt while Ukraine’s war runs — a living PM, not a Georgian Dream press office. Ivanishvili is named, not minted. The largest negative contribution to the formula-derived score is “Georgia’s parliament passes the foreign-influence law under Kobakhidze’s government” (2024).

Biggest harms

Lowers the score
Editorial assessment (context, not the score)

The heaviest documented costs sit on the 2024 foreign-agent law and protest force, with a wartime Russia-tilt on ukraine-war.

In spring 2024 his government reintroduced and passed a law requiring organisations with foreign funding to register as serving a foreign power’s interests. Protests followed. Independent reporters recorded police use of force. The EU warned the accession path. He did not write Brussels conclusions. He did table and defend the law.

Bidzina Ivanishvili remains unresolved. Confidence is high on contemporaneous wires. This paragraph is an assessment, not a substitute number.

Expert analysis

An excerpt; the full analysis opens on request.

Identity and office

Irakli Kobakhidze is prime minister of Georgia since 8 February 2024. Bidzina Ivanishvili, the Georgian Dream founder, is the informal-rule neighbourhood.

This page reuses ukraine-war for Russia-tilt while the war runs. It does not mint a second war. It does not dump 2024 protests onto Soviet media-freedom as a primary home.

In April–May 2024 the government reintroduced a foreign-influence law modelled on a 2023 draft that protests had already blocked. Parliament passed it. Police used force against demonstrators. Reuters and AP recorded the nights. The law is a completed statute. Use-of-force is a completed crackdown. He is PM. He is not every riot policeman.

Public statements refusing to join Western sanctions on Russia, and a cooling of the Ukraine-solidarity line, attach to ukraine-war. They are not a unique co-belligerency. Troop despatch is not invented.

Documented benefits

EU-candidate rhetoric is a neighbouring file, not a rebate of the 2024 law.

Contributions and limits

He tabled and defended the law. Police executed. Ivanishvili is unresolved. Sharing a party with a billionaire founder is not a reason to drop the PM’s row.

Causal chain

The 2024 law and Russia-tilt while Ukraine’s war ran sit on ukraine-war where causal, as living-executive conduct.

What the score does not say

No exact number. Direction is negative. A later genuine repeal would be a different date. Ivanishvili remains a name, not a minted biography.
