will be able to access
accounts of political
parties in the South
American country, around
20 days ahead of the
official start of the
propaganda campaigns for

The electoral authority
has planned to control
directly the income and
expenditure of the
political groups that
are related to the
funding of the electoral
campaign.
Humberto Castillo,
member of the National
Electoral Committee said
that it has been planned
that the parties hand in
data from their books,
which will have to show
their movements to cover
the costs of campaign.
The information about
our financial movement
in banks and books will
be verified against the
actual facts, Castillo
explained, quoted by
Zulia's Panorama daily.

needs, a request of 725
million bolivars ($337.2
