Communist rulers block process of election race: PLDM

The Communist rulers block the process of the election campaign, the Liberal Democratic from Moldova (PLDM) accuses. Its first deputy president Alexandru Tanase told a news conference Tuesday that in the morning the employees of an advertising company were illegally held by the police as they were installing a billboard of the PLDM, Info-Prim Neo reports. According to Tanase, a similar case happened on February 16, when the police withdraw the documents of a driver carrying ad materials of the PLDM, thus hampering the installation of a billboard. “The police invoked the fact that the content of the billboard was not coordinated with Chisinau's architecture direction and asked for the contract on posting the ad. After the employees produced it, the police invoked the impossibility to install the billboard at night, although it was 4 p.m.,” Alexandru Tanase said. “The electoral electioneering with the PLDM's logo was to be installed in accordance with the election law, which does not provide for coordinating the ads with the city hall's divisions,” Alexandru Tanase said. He is a councilor in the Chisinau Municipal Council. Mihai Godea, another first deputy president of the PLDM, has said that some their billboards have been vandalized a day after being installed. “It's interesting that these acts of vandalism cannot be committed without the police's complicity, since the billboards are posted on the main streets, as rule, patrolled by police,” Godea said. “We consider that getting the force institutions involved into the election is absolutely illegal, we'll notify the international bodies watching these elections,” said Alexandru Tanase. The PLDM has lodged a notification to the Central Election Commission asking to preserve the integrity of billboards.
