The specific nature of political parties as building blocks of the democratic development of a country, should be reinforced with a modern Law on Political Parties. This Law should respond to the new and more complex demands of Nicaraguan society and recognise political parties as subjects of rights and obligations that go well beyond the mere electoral period. The main aspects that such law could address are the legal personality of political parties; the regulation of their rights and duties in society outside election periods; and the regulation of their finance in its global dimension, from disclosing their sources of funding to accounting for all their expenditure.
