Damage to election propaganda material

1 - Anyone who wholly or partially robs, steals, destroys, tears or disfigures electoral propaganda material that has been affixed, or in any way renders it unusable or illegible, or places any material over it with a view to hiding it, shall be punished by a prison term of up to six months and a fine of between one thousand and ten thousand escudos.
2 - The facts provided for in the previous paragraph shall not be punished if the propaganda material was affixed to the agent’s own home or establishment without his consent, or if it contains manifestly out-of-date subject matter.
