Law on the formation, functioning and financing of political parties (Le Moniteur, No. 10)

Summary — Published in Le Moniteur (169th year, No. 10) of Thursday 16 January 2014, this is the governing statute on how political parties are formed, how they operate and how they are financed. It is the law against which the CEP measures party applications, so it sits behind every approved-party list the Council publishes. The same issue also carries unrelated arrêtés, including one designating 12 January as a day of commemoration for the victims of the 2010 earthquake.
