Finally, as per newly introduced Article 16(2)(f), individuals who, on the date of the Constitutional Court’s decision declaring a political party to be unconstitutional, i.e., 19 June 2023 in the case of the Şor Party, fall within one of the four categories foreseen in the amendments may be deprived of the right to stand for election for a 3-year period from the date of the decision on unconstitutionality. This means that at the time of the decision of unconstitutionality, which is the starting point of the period of ineligibility, the said individuals could not foresee the consequences of their behaviour. The Venice Commission and ODIHR recall that, in principle, legislation should not have retroactive effect and exceptions to this rule should be clearly outlined in legislation, strictly limited to compelling public-interest reasons and only if in conformity with the principle of proportionality.
