Flyers, letters and telephone messages, the Region warns candidates: some advertisements are illegal

by admin

PORDENONE. In love and war everything is possible, but in the electoral campaign – where a competitive and combative spirit is added to the passion for politics – not everything should be admitted. Certainly not forms of covert advertising.

In bars

It is not allowed – because there is an opinion of the local authorities of the Region on this – advertising that stands out in the bars on the dust jackets of the newspapers made available to customers and where instead there are photos of candidates and voting indications. The hard covers are distributed on the premises by companies that deal with commercial advertising and then sell these spaces to candidates. According to the regional service, however, it is necessary to refer to the principle “that in the thirty days prior to the vote all forms of propaganda not expressly permitted are to be considered prohibited”. Not only that: “This propaganda is characterized by a certain stability, in the sense that the hard cover remains for several days in public establishments and therefore is not attributable to a different” new “form of leafleting”. According to the regional offices, this advertising must be sanctioned. Only an appeal against the sanction could definitively clarify whether this modality is admissible.

Flyers and letters

Then there are a series of initiatives that are part of the political opportunity. The Democratic Party was very angry that in the homes of many Pordenone residents the leaflet of the Municipality with the communication of the new polling stations arrived together with the brochures of Pordenone changes. Wrong choice of distribution company, it was explained. “An incorrectness? Perhaps – declared Alessandro Genovesi of the Democratic Party -. A fall in style? Certainly ». But these days personalized letters from candidates are also arriving and more than a few citizens are wondering: how is it possible that candidate x has my home address?

Then there is the chapter of whatsapp or messenger messages. Here the war is truly open: there are candidates who even invite them to vote for their own list, distrusting another of their own coalition. Team spirit is already a memory.
