On January 8, Republican Joe Wilson, the Chairman of the Helsinki Commission, and Democrat Steve Cohen, both US Congress members, introduced the "Georgian Nightmare Non-Recognition Act."

Steve Cohen stated, "Sanctioned oligarch Ivanishvili’s Georgian Dream party has now become a tool of Putin. They falsified the October election and illegally picked a pliable president. The United States cannot and will not recognize this illegitimate government. The Georgian Nightmare Non-Recognition Act will ensure that the United States does not. Until it agrees to free and fair elections, the Ivanishvili regime must remain fully isolated by all democratic governments."

On January 10, a statement by spokespersons for the German Bundestag’s parliamentary groups expressed firm support for Georgian democrats and civil society, emphasizing assistance to lead Georgia back onto a democratic and European path. The statement highlighted the necessity of a "pluralistic process" culminating in free and fair parliamentary elections and condemned the Georgian Dream party’s decision to halt efforts toward EU accession, contrary to its pre-election promises and the European aspirations of most Georgians.

The statement criticized the Georgian Dream for adopting an "increasingly authoritarian and anti-European course" instead of advancing reforms needed for EU accession. It referenced reports from independent election observers on "serious electoral interference and manipulation" in the October 26 elections and condemned police violence, including the use of tear gas, water cannons, and rubber bullets against protesters. Concerns were raised about the authorities’ repression and the obstruction of the rights of those advocating for a democratic and European future.

The German lawmakers strongly condemned violence against protesters and called for the cessation of force and arrests against peaceful demonstrators, emphasizing the fundamental right to peaceful assembly. They urged investigations into all acts of violence and demanded accountability for those responsible. Additionally, the statement noted that the German government is advocating targeted EU sanctions against individuals responsible for serious human rights violations and acknowledged the issuance of national entry bans against nine individuals. It also welcomed the suspension and reassessment of numerous bilateral support measures.
