From the round table to breaking the law EDI PALOKA The reason declared and undeclared by the non-parliamentary opposition that its political forces, with their representatives, will continue to take part in the vote-counting commissions has only one name: a blatant and deliberate violation of the provisions of the Electoral Code.

The non-parliamentary opposition, which initially claimed to have no representatives in these commissions, has now moved to another stage, seeking to impose its participation by force. In several districts cases have been recorded where opposition representatives have tried to force their way into the counting premises.
