Integrity in Political Finance in Greece
Money in politics is a double-edged sword. It is a necessary component of the democratic
process, enabling the expression of political support as well as allowing for competition
in elections. Yet, if the financing of political parties and election campaigns are
not adequately regulated and monitored, money may also be a means for powerful special
interests to capture the policy process. This report provides an in-depth analysis
of the political finance mechanisms in Greece, drawing on international standards
and good practices. It provides concrete guidance on developing a solid legislative
framework and an effective oversight mechanism for political finance. Finally, the
report suggests ways to improve integrity in the short and medium term.
