The Executive's intention is to force political parties to m

Their accounts public on their websites, so that they can be consulted and analyzed directly by citizens. It will also be mandatory to disclose the credits that the parties and their foundations have signed with banks and financial entities. Donations from private companies Sources familiar with this draft to which ECD has had access explain that another of the aspects that will be controlled with the new legislation are donations to parties and their foundations by private companies. In this section the following stands out: -- It is intended that all political parties notify the Court of Auditors, in less than three months, of all private donations they receive for amounts exceeding 50,000 euros . -- They will be prohibited from receiving private contributions , not only from companies that have contracts in force with the Administration as until now, but also from all companies in the same group and their investees . -- No foundation that receives subsidies from the Administration may make donations to a party. -- The Court of Accounts may audit all the income of the party foundations, for which they must notify the Treasury of the public and private donations they receive. Sanctions of the Court of Accounts Another of the changes proposed by the Government in this draft is to give sanctioning capacity to the Court of Accounts , an organization that until now only makes non-binding reports and proposals.



One of the sanctions that may be applied, in relation to private donations, will be a fine equivalent to double the amount exceeded , which now stands at an annual limit of 100,000 euros . It will also have the power to stop the delivery of subsidies to the South Korea Phone Number party that does not deliver all its accounting to the Court of Accounts within the established deadlines. A widespread regulation in Europe In Europe , all countries with more than one million inhabitants have rules that regulate citizens' access to information about governments and their administrations. There are 90 countries in the world with laws on access to public information. In Europe, Cyprus, Malta, Luxembourg and, until now, Spain , which was the only EU nation with more than a million inhabitants that did not have a specific law regulating the right of access , do not have any type of 'transparent' law. to public information. There are also some Spanish autonomous communities that already have advanced similar regulations. This is the case of Navarra, which has a law in the Foral Parliament, and the Basque Country , which is outlining the text that regulates the right to public information.







As El Confidencial Digital has learned , the Government and the PP have reacted to these opposition accusations by preparing a report, collecting data published by the press, which includes the figures of the pardons approved by the current Executive and by the José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero . Comparison of the first years of Rajoy and Zapatero's Government Specifically, from the PP they explain that they have focused on comparing the figures of Zapatero's first years in La Moncloa with those of 2012, Rajoy's first: “ The PSOE only says that last year there were more pardons than in 2011 , when the Government was leaving, but they forget about the rest of the socialist legislature.” Thus, the sources consulted by ECD affirm that the total number of civil pardons in 2012 was 434, very far from the 454 in Zapatero's first year , and 15% lower than the 520 in 2006 or 2007 granted by the previous Executive. The PP has pardoned fewer prevaricators than the PSOE The Government and the PP have also collected data to refute the opposition's accusations about Rajoy's "permissiveness" with those criminals who are in prison for having transgressed against the Public Administration.
