Sumario:Our democracy is based on the existence of political parties that need to finance their activities. And this matter is not exempt from difficulties. Designing policies to regulate the way in which they obtain funds is an issue that always matters political theorists and has its correlation in the lack of uniform legislation on how it should be financed. But this issue presents an additional problem: the existence of corrupt practices in the way funds are obtained, and the appearance on the scene of organized crime, as a new patron in the functioning of politics. Fighting against this reality is a challenge, because corruption, as well as organized crime undermine public institutions and submerge a large part of the population into poverty and marginalization. Therefore, it is essential to design effective policies to combat both phenomena, which in many cases overlap each other. These issues will be analyzed in this work.
