1. The formation agreement must be formalised through a founding charter, which must be notarised and always contain the personal identification of the promoters, the name of the political party to be formed, the members of the provisional management bodies, the address, and the statute on the basis of which the political party is to be governed.
The name of a political party may not include terms or expressions that may lead to error or confusion regarding its identity or which contravene the laws or the fundamental rights of citizens. Moreover, the name may not coincide, be similar to or identified with, even phonetically, the name of any other political party previously registered in the Register or declared illegal, dissolved or suspended as a result of a judicial decision, the identification of individuals, or the name of pre-existing entities or registered trademarks.
2. Political parties acquire legal status on registering the party in the Register of Political Parties which, for such purposes, will be in place in the Ministry of the Interior, after presenting the founding charter signed by the promoters, together with the documents certifying the fulfilment of the requirements established in this Organic Law.
