Nature of qualified sixth. Entry into force preamble the article 26 of the Constitution recognises the right of the Andorran people to freely create political parties and, at the same time, establishes the fundamental features of its legal system: its operation and your organization must be democratic; their performances, according to the law; and the suspension of its activities and its dissolution must be carried out by the judicial organs.
The law of associations, on the other hand, that, while not adopted specific legislation on political parties, these will be governed by that law, although with some specifications, due to the special features there is also in these organizations and that are derived directly from the Constitution.
So far, therefore, political parties are governed by the general rules applicable to associations. The time has come, after the experience gained, to regulate specifically and in general these organizations, for the operation of basic democratic and representative system of Government established by the Constitution.
The law in the first place, specifically the creation, organization and functioning of political parties from the General provisions contained in the Constitution. So, on the one hand it establishes the freedom of creation of political parties by the Andorran nationals who are of legal age and are in full possession of their civil and political rights and, on the other, freedom of membership, which extends to all Andorran people and foreigners legally resident in Andorra, of legal age and with full capacity to act, and that includes both the right to be part of a party as not to be compelled to join or to remain in it.
The law stipulates the procedure of creation of a party, in accordance with the constitutional law of creating them, regulating to this effect the various elements, procedural, substantive and formal, which are necessary for this purpose. In addition, it includes the regulation of cases of dissolution and suspension of political parties. Of special significance is the registry of political parties, which has constitutive character. The parties, in effect, they acquire legal personality through registration in the register, and the law regulates so accurate and detailed the reasons that can justify the denial of their registration and the procedure to be followed in each case, with all the guarantees so that they meet the criteria that determines the Constitution. The last word, in relation to the registration of a party in the register, corresponds to the judicial authority.
In relation to the Organization and functioning of political parties, the law establishes minimum rules to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Constitution on the matter: that it be organized and function democratically and to act in accordance with the law. Among other devices, the law fixes the obligation to take decisions by majority, as well as to establish democratic control procedures of the executive bodies, the promotion of gender parity and participation of the members of parties in the appointment of electoral candidates.

In this sense, will also regulate the rights and duties of members, with the appropriate guarantees. The suspension and the dissolution of the parties, on the other hand, can take place but by judicial decision, as established in the Constitution. As well, the law specifies the causes that may lead to the suspension of activities and to the forced dissolution of the parties, the jurisdiction to carry out these actions and the effects that entails.
In the regulation of political parties it seems appropriate to also include the financing. In this way, the Bill addresses the schemes of financing of political parties and electoral candidates, which are closely linked, from a general perspective and with an integrated approach, based on the principle of transparency and following the recommendations it has made in this area the Council of Europe, through its Committee of Ministers.
The law distinguishes between private and public funding sources. Among the first, we regulate the fees, donations, loans, returns and inheritances and legacies.
All of them are precisely regulated to ensure transparency in the private financing of parties and their independence with respect to who provides funds for its operation and its activities. Establish as well limitations and detailed controls, culminating in the Court of accounts.
In relation to public funding, the law foresees that parties and candidates can only receive public funds to a twofold: on the one hand, the grant of representation, with a vocation to be aimed at ordinary operation and, on the other hand, the subsidy to pay for election expenses. The part of the law dedicated to the financing of parties contains an extensive and precise regulation of the controls those who subjected their finances. On the one hand, establishes a rigorous accounting regime, which should be allowed to know the reality. For another, it provides a set of controls, internal and external, that should allow to monitor that will comply with the legal provisions on the subject.
And Moreover, establishes a regime of infractions and sanctions that should be allowed to punish and correct the violations that may occur. At the same time modify some provisions of the criminal code.
On the control system established by the law there are plays an essential role in the Court of accounts, which is reinforced and, consequently, to adapt it to its new functions, modifies its specific law. In this way it strengthens the powers of the Court of Auditors with regard to the audit of the financial activities of political parties, coalitions and electoral candidates.
Finally, derogates the qualified law of electoral financing, which happens to integrate with modifications in the fifth chapter of the law, with the aim to regulate and harmonize into a single text the regulation of political parties, the financing of these and electoral financing.
