In a democracy, rules establishing procedures for the development of political activity must be agreed and once approved we should all sworn to not violate them, no handle and act on their interpretation with total loyalty and respect. Let no one forget, if the political confrontation takes the rules of the game is called into question the system and to the village, you lose.
This comes about by the nerves are beginning to detect in some political parties before the entry into force of the reform provisions of the Electoral Act in respect of performances of works Unbudgeted presentations """"" new General Urban Plan """"""¡ send eggs, four years and you lie again, using public spaces for presentations campaigns, achievements, banned since March 29, and on advertising in the "pre-campaign", banned in the period since the announcement of the elections until the start of the campaign itself, from March 29 until May 6.
far as I know, we all agreed that it had to end the practice of using populist and Administration To public through awareness of openings, ribbon cutting, laying foundation stones and balancing acts of management, from the administrations and public money should be given a clear cover to the ruling party's election campaign.
Similarly, we all agreed it was unacceptable that the advertising campaigns that political parties develop in the election campaign itself -15 days before the election "should not extend to the entire electoral period from the same day of the announcement of elections, as this would also generate enormous expenses that are hardly justifiable in times of crisis, the citizen a barrage of slogans and clichés that hinder reductionist insight and detail of policy proposals.
forecasts of the Electoral Act is clear: As for the acts of balance management, inaugurations and foundation stones, the ban is total, since there are more than a disguised form of advertising for the ruling party. That does not, obviously, works and services are operated so that they can be enjoyed by citizens. As for advertising, what has been called the period "pre-election" is a prohibition of the execution of advertising or electioneering through posters, retail media or inserts in newspapers, radio or other digital media, can not justify these actions by the exercise of ordinary activities of parties, coalitions or federations.
Although the will of the legislature has been very clear, simply interpret the provisions of the Act according to the statement in the preamble, I can understand that arise gray areas that need to be clarified. Well, no problem, for it is the Central Electoral Board in exercising its powers a few days ago issued two instructions which dispelled any doubts that these issues were being raised. About
"campaigns of achievement" and "openings" Electoral Board noted that according to Article 50 paragraphs 2 and 3 are all prohibited except those to be conducted by public authorities who have called the election process and are under the electoral law in relation to information to citizens on issues election campaigns and those that are essential to safeguard the public interest or the proper development of public services.
on advertising campaigns in the period "pre-election" Electoral Board says:
- "That at that time the political and nominations will not be able to contract directly or through third places, supports, or sites for the dissemination of advertising or electioneering, as is done in places, public (gardens, plazas, parks, etc ...), and on media business of any kind, whether billboards, street furniture for the presentation of information ("mupis"), publicity objects lit ("IPO"), cabs, transportation or similar. Nor is it permitted the inclusion of advertisements in newspapers or magazines, or radio commercials, or Internet advertising formats (banners) or commercial television channels or on other media into digital media. Can not leaflets, much less its cast, but these are made in bars and markets. REMEMBER NO ONE IS .- OFFICIAL CANDIDATE UNTIL 24 HOURS A DAY, APRIL 29. I am sure you have plenty of time, however, the guidelines by law, you are not.
"a candidate that, again, denied the introduction of another" knowledge "is NOT TRUE THAT WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM THE LIST WITHOUT NOTICE AND ECONOMIC SANCTIONS, BEING RESPONSIBLE, IF ANY, WHICH PARTY TO FORM PART. IN THE EVENT THAT IS PART OF THE PROTOCOL ESTABLISHED BY THE PARTY, THIS WILL BE OUT IN FULL "
I play fair, THEREFORE, play nice.
The councils are to serve the citizen, not to use his good will, let alone election period NOTICE
, * Nor is it considered possible in the period indicated the deal with material for propaganda purposes as diverse as keychains, pens, lighters, pins or similar objects, including the name or picture of the candidates or the name or stands for political education, or exhibition of photos of candidates or posters with the name, abbreviations, symbols of a political formation outside private homes.
* In the event that at the time of the elections electoral propaganda had spread before it, must be immediately removed, being in any way responsible for the purposes of the Electoral Administration candidate policy or training that relates to propaganda. "
Since the intention of the legislature has spoken clearly: avoid practices that broke above the "equality of arms" in the electoral process and election expenses increased exponentially, and the Board Central Electoral interpreted those issues that had some doubt, is only now that all conduct ourselves with fairness and respect for rules. Otherwise, sure "entangled" the electoral campaign and the public tired of your "scuffles" finish "sending us all where it caught the chicken."
From this moment, Easter Sunday, zero hours and ten minutes, I have directed the legal department of my party CDL complaint before the Board of Elections and duty court any irregularity in this regard. ;
