Hungarian NGOs Call For Reform Of Campaign Finance Rules
- 4 Jun 2015 9:00 AM
NGOs in Hungary have turned to lawmakers with a call to reform campaign finance rules and to clean up corruption. The civil organisations Transparency International Magyarország, Átlátszó and K-Monitor together with think-tank Political Capital sent an open letter to parliamentarians to coincide with a conference held on Wednesday on transparency in local government and campaign finance.
Róbert László, a Political Capital analyst, said the rules should be changed before the 2018 general election to ensure there are no “fake” parties or misuse of public funds.
He added that political parties should account for the public funds allocated to them as strictly as individual constituency candidates who receive central government support.
