Abstract

The procedure for the judicial declaration of extinction of political parties in a situation of inactivity is one of the many innovations introduced by the Ley Orgánica 3/2015, of March 30th, on control of the economic and financial activity of Political Parties, to the text of Ley Orgánica 6/2002, of June 27th, on Political Parties. It is a mechanism of “cleansing” the Register of Political Parties whose knowledge is attributed to the contentious-administrative jurisdiction in order to fully guarantee the fundamental right of association. This review deals with the study of the new institution, both materially and procedurally, with particular emphasis on those aspects of the new regulation which may pose greater practical application questions.
