Summary

The draft aims to strengthen the functioning of democracy in Estonia, to reduce the influence of one specific person or member of an interest group on political parties and the political decisions made by them. The bill makes the following changes: an upper limit of 100,000 euros per calendar year is set for the donation of a natural person; sums greater than the membership fee established in the party's statutes are considered a donation and also fall under the upper limit set for donations; an upper limit of 1,000,000 euros is established for election campaign expenses; natural and legal persons have the obligation to publish the sponsors of surveys on political preferences and the content of the surveys if their cost exceeds 10,000 euros per year. According to the explanatory letter, the draft creates clearer and more transparent limits on the financing of political parties in order to avoid situations where a political party is financially dependent on individual donors or hidden interest groups, who can directly influence the content or direction of political decisions.
