Paragraph 14
 

This joint opinion is based on the importance of recognising the external freedom of persons to form and participate in political parties and the internal autonomy of such parties once established. Both elements follow from the freedom of association and the right to participate in public life. These are, however, not absolute, in particular internal autonomy of political parties has to be reconciled with other fundamental principles, such as equality, transparency and accountability.
