Liberties and human rights organizations in Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands and Slovenia have looked at how political advertising is regulated in their respective countries.
Regulating political advertising is a highly contentious issue, and each EU country has its own sets of laws. But they have one thing in common: the clear (and growing) threat to free and fair elections posed by uneven, outdated advertising rules.
Our report has identified three key issues that the selected countries face, namely:
- outdated political advertising legislation;
- weak oversight and enforcement authorities;
- obscure advertising practices by organizations close to political parties.
