Venezuela: Communists slam new rule to publish party membership
VENEZUELA’S communists have condemned new electoral rules requiring political parties to publish their membership lists.
The new rules from the National Electoral Council (CNE) are aimed at smaller parties, which fail to garner more than 1 per cent in each of the country’s 12 states.
The Morning Star’s sources say the intention of the law passed last year was to expose opposition parties whose funds are disproportionate to their small membership.
