The president of the Liberal Initiative (IL) stated this Tuesday, April 21, that the party is open to supporting proposals aimed at ensuring transparency in political party funding, while noting that this is already covered by existing law. Mariana Leitão, speaking to journalists during a visit to the Lisbon Region Supply Market (MARL), addressed the decision by the Entity for Political Accounts and Financing (ECFP) to withhold the identities of party donors, emphasizing that the party supports what is already mandated by law. Regarding new proposals from the PS and Livre parties, Leitão stated that while the details are not yet known, the Liberals will support any measures that ensure the transparency already required by law for many years. The ECFP recently stopped disclosing donor identities following an opinion from the Commission for Access to Administrative Documents (CADA), citing a conflict between personal data protection and the principle of transparency, and suggesting that the current legal framework requires legislative intervention.
