Threats during the election campaign.

In the view of the Eötvös Károly Institute, in a constitutional democracy it is inadmissible, no matter the heat of the election campaign, to insinuate to mayors or municipalities that they will forfeit access to certain resources and funds if they vote “wrong” and the “righteous” side wins. The democratic politician making such insinuations must shoulder the political consequences.
