Spain’s government proposed a law to control more tightly the financial activities of political parties, after corruption scandals in recent years involving both left and right. The law will ban legal and corporate entities from making donations to parties, and banks will no longer be allowed to cancel their debts or negotiate with them interest rates that would be below market levels. Donations are currently allowed up to a limit of 100,000 Euros a year. Read full article

Having a laugh,…
Spain finally prepared to tackle political corruption:
Yet if it ever truly rigorously enforced by honest investigators,
Then probably the Spanish prime minister and the 400 odd Spanish MPs below him, would probably be arrested and put in prison,

Then again,
As we will see,
They will find a few patsies and that will be all,, to end all…

Just an honest thought guv .lol
