The difference between the limit for campaign expenses and the public funding that received for that specific purpose.

Artículo 44 - "Límite recursos privados. Los partidos políticos o
alianzas con motivo de la campaña electoral, no podrán recibir un
total de recursos privados que supere el monto equivalente a la
diferencia entre el tope máximo de gastos de campaña fijado por
esta ley y el monto del aporte extraordinario para campaña
electoral correspondiente al partido o alianza."

Comment
Even though the norm is not directed to donors especifically, a party cannot receive private contributions that exceed the difference between the limit for campaign expenses and the public funding that received for that specific purpose.
