The new Chapter III (Articles 24 et seq. of the draft law) concerns political parties’ internal regulations.  First of all, it would be desirable for it clearly to set out the principle of parties’ freedom to determine their internal structures, subject to certain limits laid down by law.  The Venice Commission refers here to the recommendation made in A above that the law should guarantee not only the freedom to set up political parties but also the freedom to conduct activities within them, and also to its previous comments about the autonomy of parties’ internal and external functioning in modern democracies.
