The 2011 joint opinion noted that sanctions provided in the law for campaign finance violations “may not be proportionate to breaches of the requirements regarding the financing of the election campaign and therefore not dissuasive enough.”53 This concern has also been expressed in the election observation mission reports of the OSCE/ODIHR. Further, the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) has stated that the current Article 289 of the Code, which provides for a range of monetary sanctions for campaign finance violations between 5,000 and 10,000 BGN, did not produce the desired dissuasive effect.54 Articles 476-479 of the draft Code provide for a range of monetary sanctions for campaign finance violations between 2,000 and 10,000 BGN. As the maximum monetary sanction remains at 10,000 BGN, the concern with the absence of dissuasive sanctions for violations of campaign finance rules remains valid and should be addressed.
