- code
- TC-44
- definition
- Multiple political parties simultaneously deploy identical or near-identical anti-CSO framing — foreign agent labels, funding ban commitments, delegitimization narratives — in a coordinated pre-electoral or legislative push. The coordination across formally competing parties signals a political consensus that civil society is a legitimate target, normalizing restrictive measures as cross-partisan policy rather than partisan attack. Distinct from TC-02 (State Official Authorization), which is a single senior official acting; TC-44 involves multiple party actors operating in concert, amplifying the authorization signal through apparent political consensus.
- detection signal
- Multiple parties using identical framing against CSOs within the same news cycle or electoral period; CSO funding bans or foreign agent commitments appearing across multiple party platforms simultaneously; cross-party parliamentary statements using shared vocabulary against civil society.
