I always thought that the use of children in political propaganda was against the law. Even it it’s not I think that the practice is totally unethical and tantamount to child abuse.
The poster campaign by UDC (Unione dei Democratici Cristiani e Democratici di Centro) in Italy features that party’s president Pier Fernando Casini bonding with kids.
For their slogan they also use the oxymoron “L’estremo centro” . To say something as politically of the ‘extreme centre’ is like saying someone has radically middle of the road views!
I took photos of two of the posters, both of which expose the work of a very sloppy bill sticker as if that worker wanted to register his disapproval of the party line.
If such publicity was used in Britain, I’m sure there would be a national outcry.
