    Yes Campaign Funding

    Need to restart this thread from last year. Hopefully the mods will make it sticky. Anything we find in newspapers collect in this thread. Focus is relationship with IBEC & Co. , EU money, public money and diversion via 3rd parties.

    IBEC is funded by its members I believe.

    Have you any reason not to believe it ?
    Or do you just ignore things that don't fit with your ideology.

    Probably because Libertas - and indeed CM himself - repeatedly insisted on the same thing, but it turned out it wasn't quite true. He's merely measuring you with his own yardstick.

    To be fair to all parties, though, it's impossible to prove a negative. Nobody can completely prove that they have never received money from a particular source - people will just say "yeah, it's been hidden" or "it's been channelled through a third party". Unfortunately, in Libertas' case, their boss actually came out and said "I gave them a huge loan", which is what everybody suspected all along, given their levels of spending.
