54. Do lobbying entities have to disclose information on contributions to political parties or candidates?

‘As far as the electoral campaign is concerned, there is no provision in the electoral laws for third-party actors to report contributions received and expenditure to an oversight authority like the Electoral Commission, let alone that financial reports be itemized. In practice, third-party actors such as foundations, NGOs, think tanks, or unions do not contribute in the electoral campaign for or against a party or a candidate, nor do they file any such reports. Even when unions do undertake political activities, they make no such reports.’
