Mass media outside the Republic of Moldova will not be entitled to interfere with electoral activity in Moldova, according to an amendment approved yesterday by the Central Election Commission.<\/p>\n

“We have included a special clause in the rules relating to the election campaign in the mass media, prohibiting foreign press, which neither has legal access to the information space of Moldova, nor participates directly or indirectly in the election activities of the Republic of Moldova,” Iurie Ciocan declared, the chairman of the Central Election Commission.<\/p>\n

“Thus, in cases of foreign media, which has legal access to the information space of the country, local distributors will be responsible for the contents of the material,” Iurie Ciocan pr\u00e9cised .<\/p>\n

The official noted, “The idea is simple – the Republic of Moldova has to protect its information space and to prevent foreign interference in the election campaign.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Central Election Commission amendment does not apply to accredited mass media in Moldova and television rebroadcasting programs of foreign mass media. Accordingly, the amendment does not apply to election advertising during the airtime, required for accredited mass media.<\/p>\n

“Foreign mass media are not entitled to interfere with the election campaign and to provide airtime to candidates, including post-election advertising. For instance, if a foreign journalist comes and makes a report in favor of a candidate, this information will be distributed across the country,” the chairman of the\u00a0Central Election Commission explained .<\/p>\n

Regulation on the election coverage in the mass media requires each broadcast, which decided to participate in the election campaign, to petition the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual until April 24, 2015. Also, it is necessary to make an apply, relating to the editorial policy of the election campaign, and institutions, which will not cover the election campaign, must notify the\u00a0Coordinating Council of Audiovisual in the same period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
