Parliamentary parties have been sabotaging electoral reform for years, except in the part that concerns the Law on Party Financing, the Civic Initiative (GI) announced today, May 21st.
"It is therefore not surprising that the ruling and opposition parties quickly and unanimously agreed to increase their revenues from public budgets by four million euros. This would increase the parties' total income from local and state budgets from the current slightly more than 11 million euros to over 15 million euros. In this way, the money of citizens and taxpayers would further strengthen the harmful political class. At the same time, it is needless to say that four million euros would be incomparably more useful if invested in educational, environmental or health purposes," the statement points out.
GI 21. maj added that, on the other hand, it is obvious that the parliamentary parties intend to suppress the possibility of a political alternative by strengthening their material position.
"All programmatic differences between parties fade away when it comes to their financial and monopoly interests. After all, if the generous inflows of budgeted parties were limited, it is unlikely that most of them would survive the elections, except for those parties that are agents of the Vučić regime or those that are prone to illegal and criminal financing," said GI 21. maj.
