Private funding of political parties is subject to several restrictions under Article 26 of the LPP. Inter alia, pursuant to paragraph 3 of that Article, the annual income of a party derived from membership contributions and donations must not exceed the equivalent of 0.3% of the revenue provided in the state budget for the current year. In this respect, the 2013 Joint Opinion stated that “imposing an annual ceiling on the total of all permissible donations and membership fees received by a political party appears to be overly broad and should be reconsidered. ”In the meantime, the annual ceiling was increased from 0.25% to 0.3% of the revenue provided in the state budget. The Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR delegation was not provided with any indications that the current ceiling on private funding would unduly restrict political parties in their rights and activities.
