Turbulent Session Regarding Support Fund, Focus on Large Donations

The Control Committee expressed concerns regarding the operation of the Support Fund and the large donations it receives, particularly a recent €900,000 donation from a shipping company involved in a project with the state. The session was turbulent, with the Auditor General interrupting his presentation due to tension. The Audit Office noted a tightening of procedures since 2023, but calls for greater transparency and control over the source of donations, as well as potential conflicts of interest.
