1. Is there a ban on donations from foreign interests to political parties?

Article 6 of the Lei do Financiamento aos Partidos Políticos (hereandafter as the Lei) states the Political Parties or Coalition of Parties may not receive, at any time, title, contributions of pecuniary and economic value by, among others, foreign governments and non-governmental organizations.

However, Article 4 of the Lei states that small contributions of value payment by Foreign Parties under the terms to be regulated are allowed for political parties to receive every year. Article 94 of the Electoral Law 7/04 of 2004 (hereandfter as the Law) further defines that the financing of electoral campaigns by the following is prohibited, among others, from governments and foreign governmental organizations or organisations that receive financing from foreign government, even if registered in Angola, and from foreign individuals and corporate entities.
