Abstract
En España, la financiación ha sido tradicionalmente uno de los principales focos de delincuen-cia en el seno de los partidos, yendo asociada en numerosas ocasiones a sonados escándalos de corrup-ción. En cambio, hubo que esperar a la reforma del Código Penal operada por la LO 1/2015, de 30 de mar-zo, para que el legislador español creara ex novo los artículos 304 bis y 304 ter (relativos a la financiación ilegal de partidos políticos). No obstante, y a pesar de la corta vida de estos preceptos, pronto se generaría en el Poder Legislativo el debate acerca de la conveniencia de modificar dichos artículos. De forma que constituye el objeto principal de este trabajo analizar las recientes propuestas de reforma de los delitos de financiación ilegal planteadas por los distintos grupos parlamentarios, para contraponerlas con la que a nuestro juicio debiera ser la modificación que algún día tendría que emprender el legislador español
In Spain, financing has traditionally been one of the main sources of crime within the parties, often associated with high-profile corruption scandals. Instead, we had to wait for the reform of the Crimi-nal Code operated by LO 1/2015, of March 30, so that the Spanish legislator created ex novo articles 304 bis and 304 ter (relating to the illegal financing of political parties). Nevertheless, and despite the short life of these precepts, the debate about the advisability of modifying said articles would soon be generated in the legislature. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to analyze the recent proposals for the reform of illegal financing crimes raised by the different parliamentary groups, in order to counterpose them with what, in our opinion, should be the modification that the Spanish legislator should one day undertake
