Hide and seek.

Last year I had a chance to participate in a project which monitored the party representation and hidden advertisement before the governmental elections. The monitoring was held in all national newspapers as well as in all regional news papers – both Latvian and Russian written. So of course – there were some cases which were clearer in the meaning of understanding that it’s a hidden advertisement or representation but also there were cases where you couldn’t be 100% sure about.

At this point it would be logical – the more hidden advertisement or representation you have the more votes in the election you get. But it was a bit different – as those previously mentioned campaigns, those were the main factor to get the votes from the citizens. At this time already The Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau has admitted that 7 parties have exceeded the amount of money they could use for the pre-election campaigns. Including those who have used some as parties wanted to believe – 3^rd parties… So, there were no 3^rd parties – only big amount of money used for a reason. And it all just like it is in everyday world – that what you are looking for at most is right before your eyes.

Next time one should hide better. If he really believes that this is the best way how to do such things…
