Social Democrats plan to restrict funding of election campaigns

The country's largest opposition party, the Social Democrats, will propose a bill to the lower house in September restricting the funding of election campaigns. The exact sum should ensue from the deputies' debate, but it could range between millions and ten millions of crowns. Last year, the Social Democrats invested a total of 260 million crowns (13,000 USD) for their election campaigns. They say the proposal is mainly designed to protect smaller parties.
