CoE SECRETARY GENERAL RECOMMENDS THAT GEORGIAN AUTHORITIES LOWERED BARRIER FOR PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS BY FIVE PERCENTTbilisi, 19 February ’04, Black Sea Press. - Today CoE Secretary General Walter Schwimmer met with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and discussed the issue of lowering the seven-percent barrier for political parties running for parliament to five percent. Presently to win the parliamentary elections a party or a bloc needs seven percents of votes of the total amount of voters. I have stated my position to the president, he said, but failed to achieve the president's consent on the point. Probably the Georgian government is not going to reduce the barrier, as Mikhail Saakashvili explained that small parties would not be able to overcome even the five-percent barrier, he said to journalists. To my mind the barrier should be lowered. If the government refuses to do this, I would recommend the political parties standing on the same platform to consolidate to run for parliament.
