SUMMARY

In the month of April the monitoring team of TI-Macedonia, CEA and the partners from the local organizations have noted reduced activities of the political parties regarding the political campaign and promotion of their programs in the eight monitored regions. There are no newly opened local offices or activities typical for electoral campaign (rallies, debates, promotional material). The Parliament dissembled on 06.04.2016 following the previous political decision for early parliamentarian elections on 26 April. As this was not feasible due to the problems with the voters list, the Elections have been politically postponed for the second time, now for the 5th of June. Following days were marked with the Decree issued by the President of the State on 13th April for Abolition of 56 high level officials and interruption of all proceedings against politicians, and the Decision of the President of the Parliament on 15.04.2016 for calling the Early Parliamentary Elections for 5th of June in the situation of dissembled Parliament. These two acts and especially the abolition resulted with demonstrations in Skopje and the following days protests have spread around the major cities around the country.

In the period after the first estimation of the political party expenditures (between 07.03.2016-30.04.2016) the following estimated possible expenditures are noted by our team: 1. Gathering in front of the Constitutional Court - total of approximately spending 1.230,000,00 MKD; 2. Promotion of the program of the political parties - total of approximately spending 1.572,000,00 MKD; 3. Demonstrations and civic gatherings - total of approximately spending 4.270,000,00 MKD. (More info about the approximate expenditures, c.9)

Within this month the correspondence with the local and the central authorities has slightly reduced and 19 RAPI request have been sent and 14 responses received.

Public announcements on the websites of the Government: Unlike the preceding reports, with a tendency for reduction of the number of announcements, during the month of April there have been an increased number of public announcements by 13% compared with the number of public announcements in March. The announcements content is both modest in qualitative and quantitative data – i.e. the percentage of announced information among all monitored institutions (where there are web announcements/posts) is low

1. ELECTION PROCESS

On 06.04.2016 the President of the Assembly Trajko Veljanovski disassembled the Assembly of Republic of Macedonia, without the presence of the opposition political party SDSM. The Decision for calling the Early Parliamentary Elections, scheduled for 5th of June 2016 by the President of the Assembly, came after several days on 15.04.2016 (photo 1).

2. AGENCY FOR AUDIO AND AUDIOVISUAL MEDIA (AAVM)

 Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services will be monitoring media coverage of the early parliamentary elections starting 15.04.2016. The Agency’s monitoring team and several external associates will be following the 24-hour program of the national televisions and radios on a daily basis. According to the Methodology for Monitoring Media Coverage of Elections in the Radio and Television Program Services, subject to monitoring during the period from calling the elections until the start of the election campaign will be two television and two radio services of the Public Broadcaster and the Parliamentary Broadcast Service, the five televisions broadcasting program using the transmission capacity of a digital terrestrial multiplex, the five satellite televisions, the four cable televisions and two of the national commercial radios. All televisions and radios that will be broadcasting paid political advertising during the election campaign should define their prices by Tuesday, 19 April 2016, at the latest, so that the price per second of paid political advertising shall not exceed the average price of advertising calculated in the three months preceding the day of calling the elections. The pricelists should be submitted to the Agency, the State Election Commission, the State Audit Institute and the State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption. According to the Electoral Code, the broadcasters are obligated to publish the pricelists for paid political advertising in their program at list twice before the start of the election campaign. Any change of the pricelists is not permitted during the electoral process.

 Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services in their Report media presentation in the first ten days after the announcement of the elections, concluded that, several media do not respect the program principles of objective and unbiased presentation of events, providing different treatment, equal views on respect for human dignity, to encourage a spirit of tolerance and for independence in editorial policy. The Agency warns that if some of the media continue to broadcast reports that link the policies of the state measures of the electoral programs of political parties and to report on the activities of state authorities at central and local level, in a way that may be a function of electoral media representation of any political entity, will be taken legal measures.

The demonstrators are coloring the institutions facades, most of them renovated in the baroques style within the project Skopje 2014, so this movement and the demonstrations on the streets got the name Colorful revolution.
