Between 2000 and 2007 political parties represented in Parliament were given from State free use of several real estates. Since 2007, political parties which, following parliamentary elections are entitled to form a parliamentary group, may apply to the Magyar Fejlesztési Bank Zrt. (Hungarian Development Bank Zrt.) for a loan at special discount to finance the purchase of real estate property for their offices. This type of loan is available to each political party only once.
Likewise, no restrictions apply in respect of party membership subscription fees, loans, cash or no cash donations to parties, fund raising activities or in respect of contributions from entities relating to political parties.
