Whenever we observe a nervous reaction to the presidential candidates a question about what the budget of the party, which he brings to the post of head of state, and who is financing his campaign, is amazed: why are not prepared to clearly answer? Do not expect that such issues will arise? One Hamit journalists, the other starts talking so the answer that all the time to forget what was asked. Others cheerfully answer - we have a big party (organization), lack of funds. But the following questions - and what means have the same party (organization) and where to read her account of the income-expenditure? - Pose corresponding to a standstill or forced to lie.

obtained as a joke: Where do you take the money? - In the bedside table. - Who puts them there?.

the eve of an important stage - the official start of the presidential campaign - virtually all the main contenders let me know from wherewill take two and a half million hryvnia for the registration of pledge. Yulia Tymoshenko and Viktor Yanukovych - Party of the tables. Ibid - and Volodymyr Lytvyn, who had previously stated its intention to take out a bank loan. But suddenly changed his mind and followed the two named candidates tells of thousands of the party. Two and a half million hryvnia, we can find. It is true, then the problem will be the content of the party apparatus, because we have a small group that works in Kiev, and several employees in the fields, and at the district level, we only activists - complained Vladimir Litvin in Simferopol.

reasonable question - if the party with money so tight, who will finance the campaign of the candidate?

Here, the bad, - admitted Vladimir. - The oligarchs have already discussed the candidates. I am with my incompatibility of temper he was not a fit. I have only one thing - meeting people. You know perfectly well, no one uses a technology that I use. In every area - ads that I come and I will meet. And I'm not going to, if warm weather, indoors, to avoid paying money. The area is not forbidden ... And that's how I communicate.

One may well feel the sympathy, but Telekritika not allow it. Just this week published estimates of experts on the costs of applicants for the presidency in advertising campaigns on TV. Used data from GFK Ukraine and Comm Alliance, as well as market players, set: Litvin only in September, has spent on TV advertising 2.1 million hryvnia. This, of course, a mere trifle compared with Viktor Yanukovich (30mln. grn.) And Yulia Tymoshenko (15mln. grn.), And even two times less than that of S. Tigipko (4,5 million UAH.). But it is quite comparable with Yatsenyuk (3 million UAH.).

Viktor Yushchenko has not reported any of the funds will pay a deposit. But if you also say that out of party funds, have any questions. Because local organizations about 10 million center party Our Ukraine in debt, and in the Crimea, and even for the last election campaign with people not paid off.

Put all

Anatoly Gritsenko: collecting money for bail and that is really important, the records of the amounts he has collected online. And the necessary amount already collected. At any moment, going to his website, you can see the effectiveness of such campaigns. And there is no question where the money. So you can live in the policy differently!

Take the problem of shadow money during political campaigns wider. When you and I know how much money a candidate (party pack) spent on the election campaign? Right after the elections, when the winners are not judged. Participants race rent data in the CEC, it examines the budgets and issues on its website malogovoryaschie tables that provide data on amounts spent, and nothing - about the specific sources of funding. And if you put the cart before the horse finance, where he removes the power of the candidates, the electoral process should begin a public campaign to raise funds in support of candidates for president or deputy. In clearly defined periods or the party leader X Y transparently generates its own budget and the election, declaring the amount, it goes to waste. What, somewhere you have already heard? Yes, no need to reinvent the wheel - it civilized world long rides. And even the record establishes, as a relatively recent Barack Obama, collected in one calendar month - September 2008 - 116,5 million dollars of donations.

No, we can also. And the amount - abruptly. Only those who put money into their party the night table?

And here we return to the topic raised by the ZN in the article Price of power, published two weeks ago. Remind you that in accordance with the Law of Ukraine On public associations social organizations and political parties should regularly publish its basic documentsof governance and data on funding sources and expenditures. And political parties are obliged to publish their annual budgets. The same rule is enshrined in the Law on Political Parties in Ukraine . Article 179 (first part) reads: A political party is obliged to publish annually in the national media a financial report on revenues and expenditures, as well as a report on the property of a political party. But to find such financial statements, even the parliamentary parties is very problematic. Moreover, legislation does not specify punishment for violation of the first part of Article 17!

People's Deputy of Ukraine Viktor Shemchuk said that registered in-law, proposed changes in the law on political parties and the Administrative and Penal Codes.

The situation that prevailed in the electoral legislation in general and the activities of political parties in particular, leads to the fact that today no one controls the sources of replenishment of parties, their cash registers, - said Victor Shemchuk. - And the party to no one held accountable their assets, sources of replenishment of funds and their expenditure. examine this situation, I sent a deputy's request to the Justice Ministry and Prosecutor General's Office. It turned out that the Ministry of Justice does not conduct such audits, and the General Prosecutor's Office, in accordance with applicable law, no right to conduct such checks without any signals.

copy of the response from the Ministry of Justice V. Shemchuk provided ZN. In a letter signed by Deputy Minister N. Bogashevo explained that the law does not impose a direct obligation of a political party to notify the Ministry of Justice as the registration authority on the implementation of the requirements of the law of the annual publication of financial statements.

But pursuant to Article 18 of Law Ministry of Justice carries out planned inspections of political parties, during which attention is drawn to the execution of the requirements of the law. In particular, the Ministry of Justice, the letter dated 03.03.2008 addressed to the parties to report on the performance of h. 1, Article 17, - said in the letter.

Annex on three sheets - data published on the party's budget available to the Ministry of Justice. This is a list of 77 parties, with the date of registration and the media in which the records, presumably, have been published. But! There is no edition number and, most importantly, the date of publication. Therefore, it is not clear for what year were these reports. If this data from the Ministry of Justice after mailing the letter mentioned in 2008, it is referred to the financial statements for the year 2007. Then it turns out that for the subsequent time, the Justice Ministry did not conduct routine checks of political parties, during which he drew attention to the execution of the first part of Article 17. But not only. The charters of political parties contain clauses that the text of which exactly reproduces this part of Article 17 of the law. And in the powers of the Justice Ministry, according to Art. 18, - to exercise state control over observance of the parties of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, as well as the charters parties.

So the question arose of how to effectively stem the arrival of the money obtained by illegal means, money, organized criminal groups, or black money from the shadow economy, in political parties and the electoral campaign, - explained V. Shemchuk motives its initiative.

What is offered? First, the imposition of administrative liability for failure to inform the authorities (represented by the Ministry of Justice) concerning the origin of the money that comes to the accounts of the various political parties and public organizations. Secondly, the imposition of criminal liability for violation of the orderto attract funds for the activities of parties and public organizations. For these violations is expected penalty of a fine (from 100 to 300 non-taxable minimum incomes of citizens) or imprisonment (up to two years).

And separately - changes in the Law on Political Parties in Ukraine , which indicated that the Ministry of Justice shall carry out an audit of financial statements of the Party, to be published annually in the newspapers Golos Ukrainy or Governmental Kurier. And in a certain period - until April 1.

public has a right to know how budgets are formed and parties, who fills them, who is the sponsor of various party organizations. Without a mechanism for financial control of political parties, we can not be sure that tomorrow we will not be created, for example, Party organized criminal group , or Party of tax evaders, or the party, which is funded from sources other countries or other states, including their intelligence services - to V. Shemchuk. - For example you can see what is happening in this area in the Crimea. I am more than sure that there are political organizations that are on the money of other countries and their intelligence services. I am more than convinced that today the part of party funds of the various organizations formed by organized criminal networks, or active participants. And this Naturally, the shadow of money. If we want to live in a state of law, the funding for all parties and public organizations should be held legally and openly. If a person wants to make a million dollars at the expense of a party organization - please let them do it openly and publicly. A talk about that today, the party that spends millions on foreign advertising, live on desyatigrivnevye contributions to their party members - is ridiculous.

Here

not agree - no longer funny. Especially now, when almost every day watching active stuffing in the Crimea all sorts of electoral resource without labeling the country of manufacture. Marginal organization pro direction so unattractive grappled for this humanitarian aid that all military secrets climbed to the press. Even someone from the Russian political analysts said: they say, are fighting for the title of his beloved wife of Moscow. In informprostranstve suddenly found so many political organizations, whose existence is scarcely known, that is lost: but who is it? But no doubt where you came from living water to wake up some frozen projects, new online publications and redesign of old, no one. But maybe not only the SBU will oversee this process?

Probably no one has any illusions about the fact that Bill V. Shemchuk will be adopted cheers BP. Ahead - the parliamentary and local elections. And those who intend to win, is unlikely to want to change the rules of the game. Because it means to change the rules of their lives, their businesses, their country. We must help them to decide it. Let try anyone who lies to tolerate all this tired - drop by drop, which is stone.
