Paragraph 29
 

Reference to Article 47 of the Constitution is also made in the amendment No 20 to Art. 88.1, instead of including the recommended mention “subject to the right of freedom of expression”[5] before the list of limitations on the content of the election campaign material. It is all the more important as the limitations refer at the end to “insulting citizen’s honour and dignity,” that is so general. Unfortunately, the proposal to adopt the previously recommended phrasing has not been implemented. 

 

21.          Articles 100.2.4 and 100.2.6 should be removed. Article 100.2.5 should be considered 100.2.4. Article 100.2.7 should be considered 100.2.5; Articles 100.2.8-100.2.19 should be considered 100.2.6-100.2.17 respectively.
