DP leader Marian Lupu mobilized for that purely electoral action many ministers and other high-ranked civil servants, who are thus doing their party activities during work days, the MCP inquiry said.

Simultaneously, many television channels started advertising these DP actions and calling on citizens to vote for DP candidates.
