Paragraph 27
 

New technologies provoke the passage of campaigns based on information or propaganda, clearly distinguishable depending on the originator, political party or media source, to a format in which conversation becomes a key element, increasingly gaining importance, and in which opinions, personal information, unofficial meetings and official or unofficial propaganda broadcastings merge. The combination of this aspect with the proliferation of actors in campaigns generates problems regarding the possible extension of the responsibility of politicians before citizens for the content of their communications.
