The money that political parties give for campaigning on social networks before the elections is not reported to the CEC. This became clear during a conversation in “This morning” with analysts Alexander Andreev and Rumyana Decheva.
„There is something that the state, our country, our institutions, decided not to observe – the participation of some cash flows that caused a parallel campaign through social networks. Despite the decisions of the Council of Europe and the European Commission, we will not deal with this in our country," said Rumyana Decheva.
Her statement was also confirmed by Alexander Andreev.
„Social networks are outside the frame of the media. The money doesn't count because it doesn't count as campaign funds,” he said.
Both are adamant that in order for social networks to be put on the CEC's radar, this must happen at the legislative level.
„These funds are not being spent completely opaquely, because some political leaders voluntarily declare how much money is given on social networks,” commented Decheva.
She adds that the “Greatness” she needed just over 80,000 votes to pass the 4 percent barrier. “It is important to me how we were covered, because the campaign stopped for the national media, which follows one law. On the day of reflection, on the elections, we were irradiated through social networks”, Decheva also said.
