The Petition of Georgian Non-Governmental and Media Organizations
We, the representatives of non-governmental and media organizations, while acknowledging the importance of fair and free elections, consider the related legislative amendments of December 2011 unacceptable, as they:
Limit civic activity, property rights, freedom of expression and political activity;
- Impede the democratic development of the country;
- Impose severe and unjustified responsibilities on the voters;
- Assign unlimited and unconstitutional powers to the Chamber of Control of Georgia, who is the main regulator of party funding in Georgia;
- Pose grave threats to both citizens and civil society, including the media;
- Deteriorate the election environment within the country.
Thus, for all the reasons listed above, we respectfully demand change to the amendments of this legislation.
