Political donations

Donations over €1,500 that Labour Party disclosed to SIPO, as printed in SIPO’s reports. Only donations above the disclosure threshold are published, so a year with none listed means none was disclosed, not that the party received nothing. Every row opens the report page it comes from.

Donors are counted by name as printed, so the same person under two spellings is counted once but a name SIPO prints differently could be counted twice. €1,200 of excess donations was returned to donors, as the reports state.
