In addition, the media noted some illegal acts, for example: a mayor, who was an SDS candidate for election, opened some Catholic building in his municipality during the pre-election period. The building in question was an unlicensed construction and the authorities had already issued the demolition order, but the highest municipal official demonstratively denied it (Delo, 3 October 2000); the Slovenian embassy in Switzerland attached the Catholic paper Župnijski list (Parish paper) to the official invitation to the elections (Mladina, 18 September 2000);
Mediji registrirajo nekaj nezakonitih dejanj, kot npr.: župan, kandidat na volitvah (SDS), v svoji občini priredi v predvolilnem času otvoritev katoliškega verskega objekta, ki je zgrajen na črno in za katerega mu je država izstavila odločbo o rušenju, ki jo pa najvišji občinski predstavnik demonstrativno zavrača (Delo, 3. 10. 2000); slovensko veleposlaništvo v Švici priloži naslovnikom v uradnem vabilu za volitve katoliški Župnijski list (Mladina, 18. 9. 2000).
