Großbritannien: Rekordspende für britische Rechtspartei Reform UK
Großbritanniens Rechtspopulisten erhalten für den Wahlkampf eine Millionenspende. Die Rekordsumme folgt auf Wochen mit verschiedenen Betrugsvorwürfen.
London - The populist British political party Reform UK has reportedly received a record-breaking donation of £36 million (approximately €42 million), the largest single contribution to a British political party since records began. The donor, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur, praised Reform UK's leader, Nigel Farage, for the generous contribution, calling it "much appreciated."
The cryptocurrency mogul disclosed the £36 million donation with the Telegraph to ensure a "fair fight" in the upcoming elections. Reform UK has recently faced multiple headlines due to alleged fundraising scandals, with police investigating claims that senior party officials attempted to conceal foreign donations. Strict rules govern the acceptance of funds in the UK, and Farage is currently under parliamentary investigation after receiving a £5 million (€5.8 million) gift in 2024 without declaring it.
The disgraced Brexit champion insists it was a personal gift, not a donation. The "Burnham Upturn" now awaits its first test.
