Associations Should Not Pertain to Political Parties, Bill

The bill of associations’ code proposes setting up an advisory commission in charge of drawing up a strategy for the association movement, called the National Higher Council for Association Movement, pertaining to the Ministry of Interior.

The bill of associations’ code proposes setting up an advisory commission in charge of drawing up a strategy for the association movement, called the National Higher Council for Association Movement, pertaining to the Ministry of Justice. 

The bill, of which Echorouk got a copy, bans associations to be linked to political parties, and any association violating this article would be frozen. 

Associations would be banned, also, from being awarded aids and funds from foreign organisations, without concerting authorities, which should investigate the source of those aids and whether principles of the donors are in conformity with the association’s goals. 

However, the bill counts 11 cases where the authorities could freeze associations, and sets conditions that should be met by any association desiring getting state aids.
