Art 33 The High Media Authority ensures that the principle of equality between candidates is respected in media information programs in regarding reproduction and commentary of statements, writings, activities of the candidates and the presentation of their person. The High Media Authority intervenes, where appropriate, with the competent authorities to take all measures likely to ensure this equality. Conditions of access to public and private media for the purpose of
electoral campaign are stopped by the High Media Authority in consultation with the Independent Electoral Commission.
