The Electronic Media Association declared that the parties of the new
majority amended a law in Parliament which forces private televisions to
broadcast electoral advertisements for free.

“This law was against the Constitution, which guarantees protection of the private property in Albania”, the declaration says.

This is law is unique in the entire world, which forces private media to serve to political parties for free.

The association appeals Albanian TV stations to not recognize this “thieving” law, drafted without any discussions with the interested parties, and decided by the new majority in full secrecy, within one afternoon.

The association appeals the majority to respect the current Electoral Code, otherwise they will file a complaint at the Constitutional Court and will address all international institutions, denouncing it as a robbery of private property and violation of media freedom.
