Wishing that the parties “can finance themselves without needing to use circumvention strategies”the Prime Minister said he wanted “the creation of a bank of democracy so that the financing of political parties and campaigns no longer depends on the choices of private banks, but can possibly be the work of public bodies placed under the control of Parliament”.
