11/29/2006 Transparency International Hrvatska reagirao je danas na Prijedlog zakona o financiranju političkih stranaka koji je prije nekoliko dana ušao u saborsku proceduru. U TIH smatraju da taj zakon predstavlja veliki korak u stvaranju pravnog okvira za suzbijanje korupcije, no da postojeći nacrt ima ogroman nedostatak: ne regulira financiranja izborne promidžbe.

Hyväksyttyjä ääniä oli reilut kahdeksan miljoonaa, kun taas äänioikeutettuja on kaksi kertaa enemmän.

Nepalilainen kylä
11/22/2006 Nepal, "Himalajan tytär", on vihdoin muuttumassa maaksi, jossa valtaa pitää kansa. Vallassa on nyt seitsemän tärkeimmän puolueen liitto ja maolaiset, jotka ovat hiljattain lupautuneet luovuttamaan aseensa. Edessä on kuitenkin paljon haasteita. Nyt on pidettävä huoli siitä, että nepalilaiset tottuvat demokratian käytäntöihin. Edustuksellisuuteen on opeteltava kylien tasolta alkaen.
