Karl Hartzell: If the initiated draft law can reduce the danger of threats and pressure on voters, it is welcomed

"If the initiated draft law can reduce the danger of threats and pressure on voters, then it is welcomed", - stated the EU Ambassador to Georgia, Carl Hartzel, in response to the Georgian Dream's legislative initiative, which aims to toughen the penalties for voter coercion and intimidation.

"We have repeatedly stated during the discussions that everything should be done within the framework of the Election Code to limit the dangers of threats and pressure. If this law can help in this regard, then it is welcomed. This law must be enforced firmly and impartially", - stated Carl Hartzell.
