On the other hand, a campaign is also about political initiatives, and editors are supposed to cover those. The tendency has been that initiatives by Government or the President have been referred by media without a critical approach or without requesting the opinion by the opposition, referring to it as coverage of normal Government business. This is an issue far beyond an election law, but with the detailed regulation of the current law, there should also be a general provision, which gives the editors a possibility to cover political issues brought up during the campaign, with a strictly neutral and unbiased approach. One possibility would be to issue a more detailed Code of Conduct for editors during election period.
