Overview

Grand Chamber rulings support equal political party access in member states, highlighting democratic values.

Key Points

  • The CJEU ruled that denying political party membership to non-nationals undermines democratic access.
  • The Court interpreted Article 22 TFEU to mean that electoral rights include the right to party membership.
  • By linking democratic principles to Union values, the CJEU reinforces its role in safeguarding democracy.
  • The rulings explicitly connect national identity organization to broader EU democratic obligations.
