The planning and execution of an electoral campaign entail a significant expense that is an extraordinary economic burden for a political party. What does it cost? Where does the money come from? Gemma Vallet, director of 11Onze District, explains in a new episode of La Pla\u00e7a.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The funding of an election campaign is a fundamental aspect of democracy, as <\/span>it directly affects freedom and equality of competition between political parties<\/b>. In Catalonia, as elsewhere, several questions have been debated about which funding model is the most appropriate regarding transparency, fairness and current regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The basis for establishing a budget for an election campaign is similar to those we would use to draw up a budget for any business or social project. In the same way that <\/span>funding can come from savings, grants, contributions or borrowing<\/b>. For example, according to the electoral law, “parties are entitled to free advertising space, both on radio and television stations and outdoor advertising,” explains Vallet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
