The party claims that the campaign launched by the publicist, presenter Andrius Tapinas, was aimed at influencing voters, so it should have been marked as a political advertisement.
“Serious violations are not marking advertising, not indicating financial sources, and there are also times when advertising clips not marked as political advertising were distributed using a medium not registered as an advertiser,” said V. Tomaševskis.
The party’s representative, CEC Valdemaras Urbanas, pointed out that “any information aimed at campaigning for or against a particular issue in a political campaign qualifies as political advertising.”
“Political advertising that is not marked is considered hidden political advertising. Regarding the financing of a political campaign, the laws clearly state that any advertisement for a political campaign must be displayed clearly and executed transparently in accordance with the law, in order to that the financing of that campaign can be seen ”, said V. Urban.
