Transparency for Government Advisors, but Not for Parliamentary Aides
November 3, 2025
Despite new regulations for government advisors, parliamentary aides continue to operate with a lack of transparency. Members of parliament are not required to disclose information about their aides, leading to potential conflicts of interest. The new legislative framework imposes transparency criteria for government aides, whereas parliamentary aides face more relaxed rules. These changes have been criticized by organizations like the GRECO Committee. Proposals to improve the situation remain unutilized.
