Article 7

Political parties work for the supervision and political training of citizens, as well as for the promotion of their participation in national life and in the management of public affairs. They contribute to the expression of the will of voters and participate in the exercise of power, on the basis of pluralism and alternation through democratic means, within the framework of constitutional institutions. Their establishment and the exercise of their activities are free, in compliance with the Constitution and the law. The single-party regime is illegal. Political parties may not be founded on a religious, linguistic, ethnic or regional basis, or, generally, on any other discriminatory basis or one contrary to human rights. They may not aim to undermine the Muslim religion, the monarchical regime, the constitutional principles, the democratic foundations or the national unity and territorial integrity of the Kingdom. The organization and operation of political parties must comply with democratic principles. An organic law determines, within the framework of the principles set out in this article, the rules relating in particular to the establishment and activities of political parties, the criteria for granting State financial support, as well as the modalities for monitoring their financing.
