YTF supports increased transparency about the financing of political parties

Yrkestrafikkforbundet has submitted a consultation response to the Norwegian People's Party (YS) regarding proposed amendments to the Political Parties Act. The association believes that political decisions should be made on the basis of the will of the people, not economic interests.

YTF are positive about changes that provide greater transparency about the financing of political parties. The association supports requiring parties and party branches to report the identity of underlying donors, and not just intermediaries.

The association believes that parties should also document which funds are earmarked for political support and which are used for other activities. This is important to ensure real transparency and trust.

YTF supports the ban on anonymous contributions. The association also emphasizes the need for clear rules for accounting, bookkeeping and reporting obligations.

In conclusion, it shows YTF that the current amount limits are moderate, and are not negative to adjustments in line with wage and price inflation.
