The party, the party association and the party's close community may not receive support from the state, municipality, municipal association, state or municipal business institution, public law association, institution or foundation, nor from a company controlled by the state or municipality as referred to in Chapter 1 § 5 of the Accounting Act (1336/1997). However, this does not apply to the use of business premises or usual hospitality. (Act on Political Parties (1969) last amended in 2010)
