(ANSAmed) - TRIPOLI, JULY 6 - ''We have heard rumours about
possible funds to parties sent from abroad but, since there is
no proof of this, we will not comment on the allegations', said
Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, Germany's European MP heading the
Libyan election assessment team.
The EU is monitoring, together with other international observers, the first free elections in the country after four decades.
The team is deployed in Libya's main cities including Bengasi and Misurata but not in the South 'for security reasons' said Lambsdorff.
''There have been reports of vandalism in some polling seats and we have heard threats of a boycott of the vote, but what counts is that most Libyans want a peaceful and successful election', he said. ' This is the beginning of a path towards democracy. Nobody expects it to be perfect, what counts is that it is possible to vote''.(ANSAmed).
