 Ilirian Celibashi

According to a report by the Commissioner for Information and Data Protection in Albania, Ilirian Celibashi, the pages of ministries and municipalities are being used for electoral propaganda. The report states that in the pre-electoral period, the pages of state institutions and local government units are being used to promote the programs and activities of political parties, local media say.

The report emphasizes that state institutions and local government units should not be used for propaganda purposes during the pre-electoral period, as this violates the principle of neutrality of the administration. The Commissioner for Information and Data Protection calls on state institutions and local government units to strictly respect the legal provisions on the use of public resources for electoral purposes.

The report recommends that the responsible institutions immediately take measures to remove any political propaganda from the pages of ministries and municipalities. The Commissioner for Information and Data Protection also calls on citizens to report any cases of electoral propaganda on the pages of state institutions and local government units..
