Question 39701 — political parties and movements

Summary

Ms Paula Forteza questions the Minister of the Interior about the transparency of political party financing. This question is asked on behalf of a citizen, as part of the “Citizen Questions” initiative in the Government. To date, individuals can make donations to political parties, up to a limit of 7,500 euros per year. The beneficiary is then required to communicate to the National Commission of Accounts of campaign and political financing (CNCCFP) the list of people who have agreed to pay one or more donations or contributions, as well as the amount thereof, each year. However, the identity of the donors is never made public. France appears extremely late on this point, particularly compared to other democracies: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, India and Brazil, the identity of the donors and that of the recipient party are public information for donations above a certain amount (200 dollars in the United States for example). The refusal to introduce such transparency is surprising to say the least, especially since political parties are the subject of particularly pronounced mistrust on the part of citizens, as opinion studies regularly highlight. For the transparency of life political, and in order to improve citizens' confidence in public officials, she would like to know if the Government plans to ask the CNCCFP to make public the list of donors to the different political parties, possibly from a certain threshold (for example 500 euros donation).
