Electoral Campaign Begins In Bolivia
LA PAZ, July 14 (BERNAMA-NNN-AGENCIES) -- Bolivian political organisations meeting all requirements established by the Electoral Supreme Court (TSE) are able to begin Monday their campaigns for the elections, set for Oct 12.
Marco Ayala, TSE spokesperson, said that those parties with legal status and candidates listed, could begin their public campaigns.
Ayala also asserted that campaign should only be carried out during public actions and not by the media, something that will be possible from Sept 12 on, as establish by the electoral schedule.
"All citizens are involved in this process, therefore freedom of information and freedom of speech are basic principles of Bolivia's democracy and that is our first responsibility," said Ayala.
