Election 2014 – Top court rules placards on pylons okay during election

Budapest, March 26 (MTI) – The Constitutional Court has rejected an appeal against an earlier decision by the Kuria, the supreme court, thereby upholding the Kuria’s decision to allow the placement of election placards on electricity pylons.

The decision was posted on the Constitutional Court’s website on Wednesday.

The Kuria ruling does not limit the rights of electoral candidates or related freedoms to express opinions, nor does it discriminate against any candidate, the court said in its justification of the ruling.

The Kuria earlier ruled to allow the placards, arguing that during the election campaign it is the election procedures law which must be applied concerning the placement of adverts, and this law does not prohibit such acts.
