“Activities of excavators and bulldozers can be noticed in this recent period, and new streets are being made and holes on the streets repaired. This is usually done in Rome neighbourhoods, with the explanation that the “Roma decade” is still being implemented, or a municipality that just now in this period has a regular and legal program to fix the streets”, noted Dehran Muratov from CIVIL

“Since the campaign started, certain ministers, directors and their deputies, or some other people – holders of public office, are performing their function during working hours, and then, act as free citizens who support certain presidential candidates and in their public speeches promise also things that are forbidden according to the Electoral Code”, said Dehran Muratov, one of the representatives of the organization CIVIL – Center for Freedom at the Conference “Like elections – like future”.

“Perhaps legally they have the possibility, but is it ethical?

But what is worrying is the orchestrated and difficult to prove propagating of the social networks. From the very first day, the first minute, since the start of the presidential campaign on April 1, certain public office holders, civil servants and party activists have changed their profile pictures on the social networks, particularly on Facebook, with the number and face of the candidate they support.

Holders of public office should be serving all the citizens, regardless of their political determination. Secrecy of vote is guaranteed by the law. Right…?”
