Donations
Recommendation:
Each citizen must decide for himself whether he wants to support one or another party financially and to what extent. This can be done both through the system of party contributions or voluntary donations, and by allowing citizens to dispose of 1% of the personal income tax paid by them, directing it to support parties or other public associations. The existing model of budgetary financing of parties has shown its inefficiency and viciousness and should be canceled
Action required:
