2. Is there a ban on donations from foreign interests to candidates? |
Code
Yes
Comment
The Regulation extends the practical application of the catalog of prohibited sources to the supervision of candidates (and furthermore, the Recital explains that Article 36-B of the LOP sanctions candidates who receive contributions from prohibited sources), so the prohibitions on foreign sources also apply to candidates.

3. Is there a ban on corporate donations to political parties? |
Code
No
Comment
The Regulation allows private contributions from domestic for-profit legal entities, but with limits and obligations (e.g., annual caps per contributor and banking/identification requirements). Therefore, there is no absolute prohibition on all companies; there are prohibitions for foreign legal entities and for domestic non-profit legal entities (Art. 31), and limits applicable to domestic corporate contributions (Art. 30.1).

4. Is there a ban on corporate donations to candidates? |
Code
No
Comment
For candidates other than presidential candidates, the Regulation establishes maximum caps per contributor (Art. 71) and requires identification/banking depending on amounts — which indicates that there is no absolute prohibition for domestic for-profit companies (these may contribute within the limits), while prohibited sources (e.g., foreign for-profit companies) remain banned and, if a candidate receives contributions from a prohibited source, the sanction applies.

5. Is there a ban on donations from Trade Unions to political parties? |
Code
Yes
Comment
The Regulation prohibits contributions from domestic non-profit legal entities (Art. 31.d). The vast majority of unions/labor organizations are non-profit legal entities, so they are covered by the prohibition. The Regulation does not mention the word 'union' explicitly in the searched fragment, but the legal category it describes (domestic non-profit legal entities) covers unions. Source

Comment
The Regulation prohibits contributions from public entities or state-owned companies or companies with state participation (Art. 31.a) and prohibits foreign for-profit companies (Art. 31.c), but does not contain an explicit provision that specifically prohibits private companies that have contracts with the State (contractors) from making contributions. Therefore, there is no express prohibition in the text of the Regulation on contributions from companies that only maintain contracts with the State. Source

In-kind contributions or smaller amounts are registered with a contribution receipt.
