28. Are there provisions for direct public funding to political parties?

Money, Politics and Transparency. 2016. Available at: https://data.moneypoliticstransparency.org/countries/EC/

 "Direct public funding is regularly provided to political parties and national political movements through the Permanent Party Fund but such direct public funding is restricted from use in electoral campaigns (...). Parties have access to an Electoral Promotion Fund which is the sole source of financing permitted for electoral promotion during the campaign (COD, Article 202). The spirit behind these measures is to allow equitable access to the media for all candidates".
