Parliamentary approval , the private cable TV companies to include national broadcasters and before the parliamentary elections citizens to have opportunity to receive and impart information, to listen and evaluate different idea-is an impressive achievement of the civil society.
“Young Barristers” call the pre-ellection situation created in Georgia alarming and the precondition of democratic, impartial parliamentary elections is to get information without any problem. Today’s decision is clearly positive, which is the step to improvement media and supports of strengthening democratic principles, but despite the government’s position, the society requires clarification and explanation; official documents, if the speaker of parliamentary agree with it and also the ruling party, what terms should be the enactment, how to get legislative proposals-must carry and must offer prepared by the social company “es shen gekheba”, the ruling party will take initiative, or the legislative proposal will remain in force through the signing of 30 000 citizens.
“Young barristers” think that to make must carry and must offer as legal norm, which will be the only reasonable compromise and dicision in this political, legal and social situation.
We think that the national and international organizations in human rights protection attemps and petition to the government to create a fair environment for pre-election four months earlier, for this time this is unachieved. To our opinion, the government’s willingness to open an information area represent the result of pressure along with the efforts of the Georgian society, allied organization and partner countries. The report made by European commission on may 2012 is alarming information, also the report by the UN special rapporteur Maina kyai that it is impossible to hold fair elections.
“Young barristers require regulation of the principles of must carry and must offer on the legislative level and in case if the 30 000 signatures will be decisive to initiate we should express our readiness to take an active part in its public support.
