Tuesday’s discussions followed a series of meetings
with political parties over the past weeks to sound their opinions, and listen
to their observations and proposals on the two draft laws, Odat said.
The parties draft law has initially allocated 30
percent of
Parliament seats to the parties; this figure will then be raised to
50 percent and eventually to 65 percent, with the aim of having a
Lower House based on programmatic party blocs that will lead to parliamentary governments,
Odat said.
He also stressed the need for all rules and
regulations that affect and restrict partisan work to be brought into line with
the parties’ draft law, which criminalizes anyone who hinders the work of the
parties.
