Paragraph 15
 

Contrary to the ineligibility dealt with in the previous Joint Opinion, the one at stake does not indifferently address a group of persons exercising an executive function within the political party declared unconstitutional or holding an elective position on behalf of the unconstitutional political party. It aims at individualising the sanction by applying it on the basis of the individual behaviour of its addressees and whether such a behaviour was considered as “an argument in the context of the declaration of the unconstitutionality” pronounced by the Constitutional Court. Moreover, it reduces the duration of the ineligibility from five back to the three years that had been proposed in the original draft of the previous legislation.
