Paragraph 34
 

Chapters V and VI closely follow the existing Law structure, which was in general quite adequate.  The draft seems to be concerned about private election funds of the parties or blocs, and so sets up new limits for donations (or charity contributions).  The amount of these contributions is limited, from a maximum of 1,000 minimum wages in Article 37.4 of the existing Law, to 120 minimum wages in the draft, Article 34.5.  The ban on contributions is extended to new groups, such as public bodies, state-owned businesses, or foreign entities (Article 34.4).  Moreover, at the beginning of this Chapter VI, Article 30 introduces a new ban: the election funds of a party or bloc cannot finance other parties or election blocs.
