Civil society's representatives recognize there were breaches within process to organize referendum
The civil society representatives who requested the referendum against mixed voting system says that all the breaches realized by the Central Election Commission are insignificant. They say they'll respect the law if they decide to create a new initiative group of the referendum.
"If we chose the second path, we will have a new meeting. We will obey the law. We don't have another opportunity to come back to the proportional system", declared Stefan Gligor, the President of the initiative group , within a press conference.
Another society's exponent recognized, in an interview for Europa Libera, that there were law encroachments when the initiative group was formed, but he thinks that the CEC representatives should have been more kind and pass all those objections. "I am saying this, because I think that CEC was not respectful and it showed some judicial pedantism and it searched for the vices where those didn't exist", said Andrei Lutenco, the director of the Politics and Reforms Center NGO.
Last week, CEC rejected the request according to the mixed voting system referendum. According to Alina Rusu, the President of CEC, there were many breaches in the documents presented by the initiative group, that didn't respect Venice Commission's recommendations. Among the breaches there is the fact that in the documents set there are 737 persons and one of them is written twice. Also, the list of the initiative members group is of 744 people, but the IDs belong only to 725 people, writes HotNews.md.
The initiative of evolving the referendum against the mixed voting elections belongs to "Demnitate si Adevar"(Dignity and truth party), Our Party and PCRM.
