Abstract

Political parties are fundamental instruments for political participation. They play an essential role in the formation of the will of the State. For this reason, they are required to have a democratic internal functioning. However, the State must respect their autonomy. The sentence analyzed resolves the tension between both principles: the requirement of internal democracy in the political parties and their self-organization right.
