1. The promoters of a political party will take all the necessary steps to register the party. The promoters of an unregistered political party will be personally, jointly and severally liable for any obligation assumed with third parties if they stated that they were acting on behalf of the party.
2. Within twenty days of presenting the full documentation in the Register of Political Parties, the Ministry of the Interior will register the political party in the Register. However, this twenty-day period may be suspended if the Ministry deems it necessary to initiate any of the procedures set forth in the following article.
3. Except in the above-mentioned cases of suspension of the twenty-day period, after said period available to the Ministry of the Interior for registering the party, the registration will be deemed made, thereby conferring legal status to the political party, making the foundation charter and the statutes public, binding the public authorities, and offering a guarantee to third parties with dealing with the party and to its members.
4. The registration of the political party in the Register will be valid indefinitely, as long as its suspension or dissolution is not recorded in the Register. The latter may take place if the party notifies the decision to dissolve the party, made in accordance with the provisions of its statutes, or if judicially declared illegal and dissolved or suspended. All of which without prejudice to that established in section 6, article 10, and in terms of the scope and effects of the suspension, in section 8, article 11 of this Organic Law.
