QuoteSpain's Central Electoral Commission has banned an animal rights party's campaign video which featured a photograph of King Juan Carlos during an elephant hunt.
According to the EFE news agency, the commission reviewed the video in response to a request for clearance by the television station Telemadrid.
The video, which is part of the PACMA animal rights party's campaign for the European elections on May 25, includes a series of images meant to depict cruelty toward animals, including bullfighting and a photograph of the king and another hunter posing in front of a dead elephant.
The electoral commission said that "under no circumstances" could the image of the head of state be used as part of an electoral campaign.
