Paragraph 83
 

X. Campaign finance provisions









Moreover, the relation between the provisions under Article 87.2.a – allocation of funds to parties that have seats in the Assembly -and Article 87.2.b – allocation of funds to parties that have obtained not less than 2 seats in the previous Assembly -is not clear. Does it mean that the political parties referred to under b) also benefit from the distribution under a)? And does it mean that under a) the political parties referred to profit on an equal basis irrespective of their numbers of votes? A solution might be to grant public funds also to these political parties, which would then also be under the obligation of restitution under paragraph 3. Moreover, while paragraph 2 only refers to political parties, it follows from Article 90, paragraph 4, that it may also apply to candidates proposed by voters.
