Middle Finger Stallion Poster
The Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination has considered as unacceptable the poster of the candidate of the "Together We Win" alliance, Belind Kelliçi, with the middle fingers in Tirana. According to the Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination, "the use of offensive images and gestures in electoral campaigns that violate human dignity are unacceptable and sanctionable by the electoral law".
"The Alliance against Hate Language found inappropriate content in the electoral posters placed in different areas of Tirana.
The use of offensive images and gestures in electoral campaigns that violate human dignity are unacceptable and sanctionable by the electoral law.
The Alliance against Hate Language appreciates the recent decision-making of the State Election Commissioner to remove the derogatory billboards, urging the electoral subjects to exercise restraint in order to be careful in the message given to the new generations. Political parties should not give up their educational role and positive models for society.
The Alliance against Hate Speech urges electoral subjects to set an example of understanding, dialogue and the presentation of better alternatives for the benefit of the communities that will govern after the elections. Responsibility, care for the good word is the property of community leaders.
The Alliance against Hate Language points out that the Code of Conduct for Political Parties in Albania signed by the electoral subjects is based on respect for the equal dignity of all human beings, freedom of expression and thought, democratic dialogue, tolerance and mutual respect, fighting against all forms of alleged superiority of one group over others, as well as discrimination and hate speech" , declared the Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination.
