The PS filed a new complaint against the government with the National Electoral Commission (CNE) for failure to comply with the May 22 decision, during which the executive was notified to remove social media posts.
This new complaint, filed on Tuesday and accessed by Lusa this Wednesday, comes after failure to comply with a May 22 CNE notice that the government should remove certain social media posts to address “institutional advertising” during the election campaign period.
“We have verified that not only are the publications still available, that is, those that were directly the subject of the complaint for which the CNE gave us cause, but also publications of an identical nature continued,” Socialist MP Pedro Delgado Alves explained to the Lusa newspaper. agency.
The Socialists consider it “serious that the CNE decision has not been implemented” and expect the government to implement the decision to avoid the crime of “conditional disobedience.”
“We are already in the week of the election campaign itself. This obligation begins as soon as the elections are called and therefore from April 4 this obligation will be in force, so that at least in the last stretch there will be respect for a fundamental element of electoral law,” defended Pedro Delgado Alves.
In a complaint filed with the CNE on Tuesday, which Luz’s agency had access to, the party claims that “publications on various social media pages of Facebook, X and Instagram” confirm the “continued practice of the crime of violating the duties of neutrality and impartiality.”
The PS, as stated in the same complaint, demands “the immediate adoption of the CNE position” that will put an end to “the current lawlessness, with appropriate sanctions applied to its authors and those responsible for non-compliance with the law.” -execution of the decision.”
On the 21st, the National Electoral Commission (CNE) notified the government that it had removed some social media posts as it considered them “prohibited institutional advertising” during the European elections following a complaint from the PS.
According to discussions accessed by the Lusa agency on Tuesday and of which the parties were notified this Wednesday, this order to remove government social media posts does not include posts on the extension of the land clearing deadline.
