Ombudsman and Children's Embassy Megjashi, appeal to political parties to refrain from any involvement of children in election campaigns . Yesterday's rally Coalition "For Better Macedonia" in Strumica Bosilevo is a classic example of abuse, when the candidat from VMRO - DPMNE in the fourth constituency Zoran Stavreski talked to the children were dressed in party symbols , promising them a range of benefits. For this manipulation with the youngest population , not only the parties who are bringing children to the rally are to blame, said the director of the Children's Embassy Dragi Zmijanac.
According to Zmijanac, additional problem, is the lack of a control mechanism for sanctioning such activities. No one has ever taken the sanctions, said Zmijanac.
And the Ombudsman received complaints of children abuse for the purposes partisan of the political parties, but they have no authority to intervene other than to send an appeal. They only remind that this is a violation of freedoms and rights, which is contrary to all international and domestic rules for the Children's rights.
