Transparency of Social Support Fund Under Scrutiny: List of Donors Awaits Attorney General's Approval

The issue of transparency surrounding the Social Support Fund, coupled with a recently publicized video alleging corruption, is under examination. The President of the Parliament sent a letter to the Auditor General requesting a list of donors to the fund from 2020 to 2025. The Auditor General has requested a legal opinion from the Attorney General, who is reviewing the positions of the Commissioner for the Protection of Personal Data before deciding on the publication of the list. The discussion in the parliamentary Institutions Committee highlighted contradictions between the Commissioner's positions and the law on party funding. The Auditor General submitted a list of donations, awaiting legal guidance.
