15. Is there a ban on state resources being given to or received by political parties or candidates (excluding regulated public funding)?

"Except when otherwise provided by law, resources of central or local public bodies or entities, or of any other entity where the state holds capital or shares or/and appoints the majority of the supervisory or administrative body of the entity, regardless of the source of the capital or ownership, may not be used or made available to support candidates, political parties or coalitions in elections. For purposes of this article, current and fixed assets provided for in article 142 of the Civil Code, as well as any human resources of the institution, shall be considered as 'resources'. Use of 'human resources' shall mean the obligatory use for electoral purposes of the institution's administration within the work hours, as well as the obligatory and organized use of students of the pre-university system within the lesson hours, in the electoral campaign".  Source : Article 88, Approved by Law no. 10 019, dated 29 December 2008, amended by Law no. 74/2012, dated 19 July 2012 and Law no. 31/2015, dated 2 April 2015
