Event: Money and Politics - How Poland fares against Europe?

In cooperation with the Political Accountability Foundation the European Platform for Democratic Elections cordially invites you to the online discussion:

Money and politics — how Poland fares against Europe?

During the discussion we will try to answer the following questions:

• Can third-party campaigning be regulated?
• How much transparency is needed and can too much transparency make political strategising harder?
• Are subventions for political parties the only way of limiting corruption?
• What new challenges to political finance stem from the development of new technologies?

During the event, EPDE's study "Puzzling rules – equal game?" on political finance regulations across the EU will be presented.

The speakers:

Alexander SHLYK, Former Head of OSCE/ODIHR's Election Department
Septimius PARVU, Political clientelism expert, Expert Forum, Romania
Katarzyna BATKO-TOŁUĆ, Member of the Board of the Citizens Network Watchdog Poland

Moderator:
Sylwester ORACZ, Campaign finance expert, Political Accountability Foundation
