The state news agency Moldpres and the private television channel Eu TV are politically biased on the election day, the executive director of the Independent Press Association (API) Petru Macovei has told Info-Prim Neo. According to Macovei, Moldpres broadcast only news stories about how the first three persons on the list of the Communist Party (PCRM) voted, saying nothing about the other election runners, who also voted. “A correct news agency must present information about all the leaders of political parties and not make a selection according to political criteria,” Petru Macovei said. He also said that a news item broadcast by Moldpres contained an indirect appeal to the voters to support the PCRM. “Asked what he though about the chances of the PCRM in elections as leader of the party, Vladimir Voronin said that he was confident they would win these elections with the help of the people,” Macovei exemplified, quoting Moldpres. “This passage tells indirectly the consumers of information that the people should support the PCRM in the present elections as well. Some of the party’s information portals continued to be active, though they should have been inactive on the election day.” “The television channel Eu TV rebroadcast the program Media Expres from April 3, which calls on the people not to vote for certain political parties. It is a very serious violation and we will demand that the Broadcasting Coordination Council examines this case,” Macovei said.
