7. Subsidy Program for Local Political Parties
The bill for the new Political Parties Act (Wpp) is expected to take effect on January 1, 2028, but the House of Representatives is already making reserved government funds available through the Municipal Fund. This allows municipalities, in anticipation of the national law, to set up their own temporary subsidy program to support local political parties. This municipal scheme bridges the gap until the Wpp takes effect in 2028. The goal of this funding is to strengthen local democracy, transparency, and the professionalization of local political parties.

1. To adopt the 2026 Subsidy Regulation for Local Political Parties in the Municipality of Son en Breugel;
