Behind small parties in new German government: Big money. The pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) and the environmentalist Greens gained the most from donations of over €50,000 to German parties this year, data collated by POLITICO shows.

Yup that’s the world we live in.
I don’t think it is necessary a bad thing though
party donations should get banned.
Donations from private parties should be banned. Every party has a budget according to its membership. All donations made to them go into a a collective that is distributed equally. So if I would spend 1m to the Greens, all parties get an equal share of that 1m according to their member size.
Stop that fucking lobbyism.
Politico was recently acquired by Axel Springer Verlag.
Germanies most shameless yellow press publisher.
And also infamous for their blatant partisanship when it comes to support of the CDU.
It is of course hypocritical to write such an article when your favoured party is responsible for the vasr majority of all poltical corruption and gets, ignoring this outlier, the most money from buisness interest.
That does not negate attempts of lobbying fdp and greens, but should be kept in mind when contextualizing the source
