To find the secret donations to political party in Russia do not need anyone bother to listen in or boat in the Gulf of loksuvas distinction between spoken words.
Disclosure of donations for a fact can be so obvious that watches the commercial register of the reports. Not only attentive, contact numbers and comparing them to the party's website for public reports on the numbers of donations.
12 of the Act of the Party section by a political party can be a source of funds and assets only membership fees, allocations from the state budget, donations from natural persons and the return of the political party's assets. Political parties must not accept anonymous or concealed donations. Donations received by political party, the political party on its web site and ensures the correctness of the political party management.
But someone does not check if the party disclosed donations to the website of the same percentage shown in the financial statements of the party. Office of the Minister of Justice Rein Lang was the seventh February by the Riigikogu on the following answer: "The law provides that political parties are audited financial statements - that statutory auditors. If the annual report of the auditor shall evaluate whether negligent or outright false statements or lying, he may lose the license. Most of it now under the supervision of a new political party formed under the law of the Riigikogu Committee, which has administrative rights. Must go there. "
Thus it was not until recently, according to Minister of Justice, no one other than the auditor who kontrollinuks parties submitted data. It is unlikely that any political party would be so careless, that the public would be contrary to the terms of the donation. However, it may be that the party will not disclose all donations received.
I took this work and compared to the previous state of political parties represented in their pages, published by the donations and the latest available annual reports of two written numbers. All in all I can say that the most accurate were the Estonian Green reports that the 2008th the donation of fully overlapped and 2009. income was 0.2% higher than the public donations or grants received from the State. I read quite accurate in the People's Union, the Social Democratic Party, the Estonian Centre Party and the Reform Party of Estonia reports that the difference ranged from 0.6% to 9%. This difference could be due to differences such as membership fees into a report from the party showed them with donations.
If we believe the Pro Patria and Res Publica Union's audited financial statements, they are two years in a row received 34 to 36 percent more donations if they have them released. This is important enough to bring readers the whole of the calculation procedure.
IRL 2008th The annual report presents a separate rows for "Membership fees" 279,063 euros, "Donations and grants" 798,149 euros, "State budgetary receipts of" 16,902,475 euros, and "other income" in 2200 euros. IRL's website published the register of donations were received by the 2008th In the first quarter of 84 donations amounting to 163,326 euros, the second quarter of 75 donations amounting to 183,145 euros, the third quarter of 61 donations amounting to 81,145 euros in the fourth quarter and 86 donations amounting to 158,241 euros. In total, the 2008th 306 in donations amounting to 585,857 euros, which is 212,292 euros, or 36.2 percent less than the amount recognized in the annual report (798,149 euros). Can it be demonstrated that the secret donations to political parties are funded by 212 thousand euros in?
Next year, repeat the same difference between the public and declared donations. 2009th The annual report of the line "received from the members' fees" amounting to 214,224 euros, "Donations and grants" amounting to 18,518,227 euros, "business income" the amount of 14,890 kroons and the "Other income" amounting to $ 0.
This time, the donations and support from the country rated as one amount, which makes the calculation more cumbersome but not impossible to reverse. Interior Minister Marko Pomerants Decree No. 151L (03/07/2009) reduces all-party support than the previous year, and IRL-Ile received nearly a million euros for less money or a total of 15,903,563 euros. IRL's website in 2009. annual donations to the following: first quarter 77 donation in the amount of EEK 83,042, the amount of donation in the second quarter 91 981 381 kroons in the third quarter 91 donations amounting to 193,957 euros in the fourth quarter and 217 donations amounting to 681,060 euros. Throughout the year, 476 donation of 1,939,440 euros. If the amount received from the State liidame to 15,903,563 euros, we get the amount of 17,843,003 euros. This is less than 675,224 euros, they showed the 2009th annual report! Difference is the amount of donations while 34.8 percent or 675,224 euros in donations are not disclosed.
I repeat, that for two consecutive years are shown IRL donations received 212,292 euros and 675,224 euros less than at a later reflected in the audited financial statements. It is clearly distinct from membership fees for both years, the state received, income from business or other income.
Donations went to explain about the conflict between the Secretary-General tookordse Margus Tsahkna to him but not the 19th April e-mail reply. Although it could be the last 675,000 euros to explain failure to disclose the current Interior Minister Ken-Marti Vaher, defense, or Mr. Mart Laar Economy Minister Juhan Parts, who confirmed with the remaining 21 board members with their signatures Pro Patria and Res Publica Union, 2009th annual report and let it check the sworn auditor Linda Haahti. An Estonian citizen has cause for concern within the party than the government can be of unknown origin, and its well-known members of the donations meet the justice, defense, or the Minister of Economic Affairs offices.
I do not know whether to feel concerned that the Pro Patria and Res Publica Union to disclose the donors who have included in their published reports, or be happy that all proceeds from the auditor, they are honestly the show. How it was saying that two thirds and one third of the transfers melted? It seems that this is already practiced in Wismar Street office of the 2008th year. I look forward to the end of June supplied by IRL 2010th annual report, as the proverb according to which two third are without ice.
