Section 4; Articles 6.2 & 8.4(4.1), Law on Financing of Political Organisations (Parties), the amended version of the law in force from 01.01.2020, Latvijas VÄ“stnesis, 114, 02.08.1995

Comment

Any contribution from legal persons is banned, as well as the law permits natural persons to only make donations to political parties and not to individual candidates. A donation that exceeds one minimum monthly wage has to be transferred to the party`s bank account, and all financial activities by a candidate are considered as financial activities of his/her respective nominating political party.
