However, it is equally important that political parties are able to freely chose whichever means and form of communication they deem most useful to communicate with their electorate, party members and the broader public. It therefore should be guaranteed that political parties are still able to establish, own and run non-commercial media outlets and printing houses in order to publish campaign material or inform about the party’s statutory activities, goals and programmes. According to the authorities, this is the case. In order to contribute to a level playing field for all parties, the draft amendments should consider introducing a mandatory provision of reasonable free media time in private outlets during campaign periods. Similarly, and with the same purpose, the legislator could also include disclosure and reporting obligations for other types of indirect founding, like free/discounted office space or free/subsidised postage. The authorities are ready to take these recommendations into consideration.
