Regardless, the OSCE calls on all political parties to fully participate in the hundreds of meetings, debates and discussions that will take place between now and election weekend. We so often hear claims from the various parties that their policies are absolutely correct. Well, now it is time, as they say in Texas, to put up or shut up. In other words, all political parties should willingly participate in public debates. It will be very difficult to take seriously complaints of unequal access by parties that fail to engage in public debate.
Debate is democracy.
I've also been busy summarizing all of the EASC decisions, reports and advisory opinions for those of you who do not have all of the EASC decisions from this year and last year. One of my assistants is busy translating the summaries and they are available as a press release in English. It won't be available in the local languages until Monday. On Monday, I will also have a book with all of the EASC material and all languages on our press table outside, so you can photocopy a decision. You can also drop by my office to get a hard copy or I can give them all to you on computer disk if you bring several of your own disks.
