No clashes, please!<\/p>\n
All presidential candidates have agreed to avoid violence in
\ntheir campaigns, which will start tomorrow.<\/p>\n
In a meeting with the Constitutional Court on Saturday the
\nfive candidates agreed to bring any electoral disputes to the
\ncourt, while also promising to not hold any \"black\" campaigns or
\npropaganda classified as character assassinations.<\/p>\n
Given the democratic, fair and open April legislative
\nelection, we do hope that the first direct presidential election
\non July 5 will run smoothly and peacefully.<\/p>\n
During the campaign period, the contestants are obliged to
\nreveal their political platforms, visions, missions and programs,
\nas well as top priorities in their agenda.<\/p>\n
We support the contestants' commitment to keep cool, without
\nany inflammatory speeches. Settling electoral disputes, if any,
\nthrough the appropriate judicial process is a wise move.<\/p>\n
Such a commitment is very important in a democratic society.
