New Challenges to Political Party Financial Supervision in Portugal

Luís de Sousa

South European Society and Politics, 2014, vol. 19, issue 1, 113-134

Abstract: After a decade of successive changes to its political financing regulatory framework, and a cumbersome dual monitoring system, Portugal has decided to adopt a single supervisory body – the Entity for Accounts and Political Financing (EAPF). Notwithstanding these improvements, the diffused perception of the existing political financing regulatory and supervisory arrangements remains overall negative. This article discusses the scope and impact of the new Portuguese political financing supervisory body, by focusing on its format, location, mission, competences, composition, resources and performance and proposes alternative integrated solutions for improving its enforcement capacity.
