Politicians agree on proposed bill to fund all parties from public finances

All parties in Sejm are now working in unison to pass a motion to finance all parties from public finances. This, say the representatives, would put an end to the corruption among the parties and would help to avoid "potential irregularities". So far four drafts have been prepared that would change the law concerning political parties and would amend the rules concerning the parliamentary elections. Under the new proposal the money gathered specifically for the election must be placed in separate accounts, as will the money coming from anonymous donors. The bill also proposes that deputies and senators would not be allowed to sit as members of a city, district or voivodship council. Deputies would also be banned from sitting on pension fund councils. (Rzeczpospolita, page A2)
