Prohibition of the use of public resources for the support of electoral subjects
1. Except for the cases provided by law, resources of public organs or entities of a central or local level, or of any other entity where the state owns capital or shares or/and appoints the majority of the supervisory or administrative body of the entity, regardless of the source of the capital or ownership, cannot be used or made available for the support of candidates, political parties or coalitions in elections.
2. For purposes of this article, movable and immovable assets provided in article 142 of the Civil Code, as well as any human resource of the institution, are considered “resources”. The use of “human resources” is understood as the use of the administration of the institution during working hours for election purposes. Even hiring, dismissing from work, release, movement and transfer of duty, with the exception of motivated cases, are considered to be activities of the public institution.
