The governing Liberal National Party received in the election year 2008, donations reaching the total amount of 27,431,821 lei.
The list of the companies willing to help PNL cover all the expenses for the election campaign includes no less than 206 companies, and the list of generous Romanian natural persons is made up by 882 persons.
Unlike the social-democrats who proved they are much more organised when publishing the list of the last year's donors (natural and juristic persons) grouped on each county, the liberals only enumerated them. According to the document on the total amount of money coming from private financing of political parties in 2008, Law 334/2006, about financing of political party activities in electing campaigns, published in Official Gazette no 221 from 6th of April of this year, the list of the juristic persons includes some companies in Constanţa county that deposited a total of 263,968 lei in the PNL moneybox. On the 1st rank in the "liberal generosity" top, we find Cardinal Motors Ltd (125,568 lei), the silver medal goes to Oil Depol Service company (50,000 lei), and the bronze medal is granted to Nemesis company (38,400 lei). On this list we will also find Argos JSC from Cernavodă (10,000 lei), Uranus Pluton, from Ovidiu (10,000 lei), David (15,000 lei) and so on.
Bourceanu and Mihei, the most generous liberals
As stated before, identifying the list of Constanţa citizens who wanted to donate money to PNL was a real challenge, and it's possible we should have omitted some names. Among well known names on the list of the wealthy natural persons who showed generosity to the liberals, the most bounteous was Septimiu Sebastian Bourceanu (37,010 lei) - the one that coordinated the activity of Techirghiol Sanatorium and tried in vain to become deputy of the 8th College. He is followed by the former PNL deputy
