Opinia prawna w sprawie możliwości organizowania przez posła aukcji oraz zbiórki pieniężnej na cel charytatywny

The applicable legislation does not prevent a parliamentarian from organising a fundraising event provided in the form of bank transfers (e.g. via crowdfunding websites) to raise funds for a charitable purpose. However, a collection of funds for such a purpose could not take the form of a “public collection” within the meaning of the Act on the principles of public collections, i.e. a fundraising in the form of cash contributions. Deputies are prohibited from accepting donations that may undermine the confidence of the electorate in their exercise of their mandate for the good of the Nation (Article 33(2) in conjunction with Article 1(1) of the Act on the performance of the mandate of deputy or senator).
