Source
Article 4.2, Law on Financing of Political Organisations (Parties), Law on Financing of Political Organisations (Parties), the amended version of law in force from 01.01.2020, Latvijas Vēstnesis, 114, 02.08.1995
Comment
The law does not specify that a donation must be made in relation to an election or not, hence the regular limit applies. If a party is receiving public funding, stricter rules apply for the total amount of donations.
