[1682 Election] Parliamentary Campaign Thread

[Alfonso Velez]

Final day ad- National (TV & Internet)

Ominous music plays as an unflattering picture of Zimmer appears on the screen in black and white surrounded by storm clouds

Narrator (sounding skeptical): Mr. Zimmer and the DSP have made a lot of promises during this campaign. What’s their history with honoring their promises?

The screen shifts to a slow-motion 5 second muted still of the press conference where Velez announced the coalition with the DSP and the two shaking hands, then the video is dramatically “ripped apart”

Narrator: Zimmer and the DSP didn’t honor their word in the coalition. If they didn’t honor their word then, how can we expect them to honor their word now?

Ominous music resumes with newspaper headlines appearing on screen about the near AUT strike and recent allegations of Zimmer’s involvement

Narrator: How can we trust someone who risked jeopardizing the economy of the Republic for political gain?

The music changes to a vibrant, happy tone as flattering images of Velez and other key L&D figures come on the screen doing various important tasks and official visits

Narrator (sounding jubilant): Fortunately there’s a party on the ballot who’s always kept their word. A party that’s led this nation for nearly a decade to great success. A party who has championed the right of all our citizens, enshrined the right to the Law of Graces into the Constitution, has built a prosperous Republic--and so much more.

The screen changes to the image of a polling station and several L&D volunteers waiving L&D signs outside

Narrator: When it’s time to cast your vote, ask yourself who you can trust. The party with a proven record who lives up to its word--or Mr. Zimmer and a party that broke its promise.
