Source text - English LACUNES DE LEGISLATION
Evoquant un sondage TNS-Sofres réalisé en septembre selon lequel à peine un Français sur cinq considère les élus et les dirigeants politiques "plutôt honnêtes" alors que près des trois quarts (72 %) les jugent "corrompus", M. de Rugy a souligné la "défiance" des citoyens à l'égard de leur représentants. " On parle de la transparence, on s'y réfère, on s'en réclame mais, dans les faits, rien ne se passe, a déploré le rapporteur. C'est précisément ce hiatus entre la parole politique et les actes qui nourrit la défiance."
La discussion a permis de mettre le doigt sur un certain nombre de lacunes de la législation régissant la vie politique. A commencer par le financement des partis, pollué par la prolifération des micro-partis. En 1990, la Commission nationale des comptes de campagne et des financements politiques (CNCCFP) recensait vingt-huit partis politiques. Vingt ans plus tard, elle en enregistre deux cents de plus (Le Monde du 28 mai). "Ce sont des niches fiscales épargnées, des pompes à finances pour les grands partis", a dénoncé Yves Cochet (Verts, Paris). François Sauvadet, qui représentait le gouvernement, a voulu s'essayer à la plaisanterie : "S'agissant des micro-partis, vous savez que nous sommes le pays aux trois cents fromages", a plaidé le ministre.
M. de Rugy a parlé, lui, d'un "détournement de la loi" sur le financement des partis puisque, a-t-il démontré, alors que la loi plafonne à 4600 euros les dons des particuliers à un candidat, "un couple fortuné peut donner près de 40 000 euros", en cumulant les dons aux partis politiques, avec les avantages fiscaux qui s'y rattachent, à un seul candidat.
Translation - French Gaps in Legislation
A poll carried out in September, showed that only 1 in 5 French voters consider their elected officials and political leaders as ‘rather honest’. Conversely, this poll found that nearly three quarters (72%) of French voters consider their politicians as “corrupt”. Mr. de Rugy affirmed this ‘distrust’ of the citizens towards their representatives, criticising that, "We speak of transparency, we refer to it, and we consider ourselves transparent but, actually, nothing comes of it. This is precisely the hiatus between the political word and the acts which feed into the distrust."
The debate made it possible to pinpoint certain gaps in the legislation governing political life. Firstly, there is the issue of the funding of the parties which has been polluted by the proliferation of small political parties. In 1990, France’s National Commission for Campaign Accounts and Political Financing (CNCCFP) counted twenty-eight political parties. Twenty years later, it recorded another two hundred. Yves Cochet of the French Green Party denounced this expansion, remarking that, "They are tax-saving loopholes, essentially used as finance pumps for the big parties". François Sauvadet, a previous government representative, jovially referred to the small political party’s situation by declaring France as "le pays de 300 fromages", a De Gaulle reference to the sheer "ungovernability" of the country.
Mr. de Rugy spoke of a "change in the law" on the financing of the parties. Although the law places a party donation limit of 4600 euros to an individual candidate, De Rugy explained that "a privileged couple can donate up to 40,000 euros" by accumulating donations to the political parties, along with the tax advantages attached to it, which is subsequently given to an individual candidate.
