 Abbas overhauls election laws to marginalize Hamas
By The Associated Press
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas yesterday revised
Palestinian election laws to favor his own Fatah party - his latest
attempt to sideline Hamas since the group seized control of the Gaza
Strip in June.
In a further snub to his archrivals, Abbas required all presidential
and parliamentary candidates to recognize the Fatah-dominated PLO.
Hamas condemned the moves as illegal.
Despite the bold moves to shore up his fractured party's position,
Abbas aides admitted he would not be able to set a date for elections
until he could assure that voting would take place in Gaza as well as
the West Bank. With Hamas firmly in control of Gaza after a lightning
sweep that removed Fatah-backed security forces in June, it's unlikely
that will be anytime soon.

After meeting EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana in Ramallah, Abbas
warned that if agreements were not reached ahead of the conference, it
would be a failure. Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert have
been meeting regularly and have begun tackling the core issues of the
conflict, but no progress has been reported.
Tony Blair, the ex-British prime minister who is serving as the envoy
of the Quartet of Mideast mediators, the U.S., EU, U.N. and Russia,
will arrive Tuesday for meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders,
ahead of a Quartet meeting toward the end of the month, Blair's
spokesman said yesterday.
Focusing on his internal political challenges, Abbas yesterday decreed
a change in the Palestinian electoral system to overcome infighting in
his own party. In 2006, the system was made up of districts and
territory-wide voting.
Hamas swept most of the districts because rival Fatah candidates
canceled each other out.
Under the new system, voters will pick parties, not candidates, and
the parliament will be divided among the parties in proportion to the
votes they receive.
The decree also requires all presidential and parliamentary candidates
to recognize the Fatah-dominated Palestine Liberation Organization as
the sole, legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
Hamas, which is not a PLO member, condemned Abbas' decision as
illegal.
"Early parliamentary elections are rejected ... and any amendment to
the law is also rejected," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said. "Hamas
objects to this policy of monopolizing decision making and will not
deal with its outcome."
Barhoum said only the parliament, which is controlled by Hamas, has
the authority to change election law. But Abbas said he now holds such
authority since parliament is no longer functioning.
In Gaza, Hamas continued to hold nearly 60 Fatah supporters, including
11 minors, who were arrested on rioting and incitement charges at a
protest on Friday.
Fatah has organized public rallies for the last two weeks to denounce
Hamas' takeover. Hamas accuses Fatah supporters of trying to organize
a violent comeback.

  Abbas overhauls election laws to marginalize Hamas
Abbas deve essere andato a scuola dai "riformisti" italiani, quelli
per i quali se sei al governo con Rifondazione non devi governare
insieme a loro, ma devi cambiare la legge elettorale in modo che non
succeda più, e chissenefrega del voto del popolo: esistono voti buoni
e voti cattivi, e quelli cattivi non devono contare...

Hamas, which is not a PLO member,
Ne gli e' chiesto di esserlo.

 Se lo facesse Chavez
Chavez si è intronato presidente a vita.
Il che è decisamente poco democratico.
Visto che delle elezioni Torrieri non si interessa, è normale che non ci 
capisca un cazzo.

 E mi pare che abbia proposto una legge assolutamente democratica.
Si, specialmente questa parte qua:
-------------------
The decree also requires all presidential and parliamentary candidates
to recognize the Fatah-dominated Palestine Liberation Organization as
the sole, legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
Hamas, which is not a PLO member,...

trasuda di democrazia.

 trasuda di democrazia.
Chiedere *DI RICONOSCERE* (e non *DI ESSERE MEMBRI*) l'ANP, l'organo di
autogoverno dei palestinesi unico riconosciuto dalla Comunita'
Internazionale, per partecipare alle elezioni .... ***DELL'ANP***
trasuda proprio di democrazia, caro *PIRLA* di un Torrieri.
