Act XXXIII of 1989
on the Operation and Financial Management of Political Parties

(abstract issue)

The social function of political parties is to provide organisational frameworks for developing and manifesting the will of the people, and for citizens to take part in political life. Therefore, to further the enforcement of citizens’ freedom of association and political rights, and to advance the democratic representation and enforcement of various interests and values present in society, the Parliament shall make the following law:

Chapter I

The scope of the Act

1. § The scope of this Act shall cover the social organisations that have registered members, and state before the court which registers them that they acknowledge the provisions of this Act as binding upon them.

Chapter II

The operation of political parties

2. § (1) Political parties shall not set up and operate organisations at places of work (places of service, educational institutions).
(2)

Chapter III

Termination of political parties

3. § (1) Political parties may terminate:
a) through merging with another party,
b) through separation into two or more parties,
c) through dissolution,
d) through being dissolved by the court, or
e) upon the establishment of their termination.
(2) On the motion of the state attorney’s office, the court will establish the termination of the party if the party discontinues its operation and does not provide for its assets.
(3) On the motion of the state attorney’s motion, the court, notwithstanding the continued operation of the political party as a social organisation, will establish the termination of the party if the party fails to put forward any candidate in two consecutive general parliamentary elections.
