Furthermore, the founding congress itself could be used to develop the programme and other party documents through participatory processes which might make the requirement of publishing these documents prior to the congress illogical in some cases. Establishment should not require too many details that a party may not be able to provide during the process of establishment. As an example, pursuant to Article 3 of the draft amendments, Article 9 now also requires parties to submit “approaches of the political party to the concept on the organisation of the public life” and “provisions regarding involvement of women, youth, representatives of national minorities and other under-represented groups in the activities of the political party”. While promoting diversity and furthering the political participation of different societal groups are crucial for pluralistic democracy, these regulations seem excessive to be placed on parties. Electoral legislation appears as more appropriate to ensure the effective representation of these groups in elected bodies and not including these provisions in the legislation on political parties might be appropriate. Lastly, requirements in Article 8 para 4 and Article 9 para 7 to publish party documents on the country’s official website for public notifications and the Ministry of Justice’s respectively are excessive. It should generally be sufficient to publish party documents on a party’s own website or the country’s official website for public notifications. The draft amendments now also include a variety of gender and diversity aspects as mandatory and ask for a level of detail which a political party might not be able or willing to provide in its process of establishment.
