Civil Service Bureau liquidation is a continuation of repression in Public Service

Considering the ongoing situation and the protests by civil servants, the liquidation of the Civil Service Bureau is yet another act of repression by the state—not only against the bureau's employees but against the civil service as a whole. According to the information available on the Georgian government's website, the liquidation of the bureau is planned to be completed by April 1, 2025. It is also stated that the liquidation is intended to rationalize management and optimize expenses. However, neither the public nor the bureau's employees are aware of any document supporting this assessment.
