The Anticorruption Alliance, which is a member of the Civic Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Coalitia 2009), has launched the project “Political Party’s Programs on the Fight against Corruption in the 2009 Elections”, Info-Prim Neo reports. According to the Alliance, this project is designed to promote the fight against corruption by the political parties’ and voters’ attention to the necessity of preventing and combating corruption. Another objective of the project is to strengthen political parties’ capacities of including anticorruption measures in the electoral programs and of familiarizing the voters with these measures during the 2009 election campaign. In order to achieve these objectives, the Alliance has formulated a set of policies intended for political parties. These include proposals for the government’s strategies for tackling corruption and measures aimed at preventing and combating corruption, planned for a four-year period. The policies will be presented to all the parties that will run in the 2009 election campaign. The Anticorruption Alliance will also issue supplements to newspapers, publish articles in the print media, launch an awareness-raising campaign, including radio and TV talk shows, and organize other events in order to promote the incorporation of anticorruption measures in the electoral programs of the political parties. The presenters of political programs and directors of TV programs will be encouraged to include corruption-related topics in the electoral debates, etc. The Alliance will continuously monitor the steps taken by the new Parliament and Government to fight corruption and will present a yearly report on how the parties fulfill their electoral promises. The Anticorruption Alliance brings together a number of nongovernmental organizations that work in different areas, mainly public policies, law and democratic institutions. It now has about 30 members among which representatives of mass media, youth, education and science organizations, etc.
