List Of Political Parties In Syria
This article lists political parties in Syria. Article 8 of the constitution provides that "the Arab Socialist Baath Party leads society and the state". Since 1972, other parties that accept the leadership role of the Baath Party and support the government's socialist and Arab nationalist orientation have been allowed to operate as members of the National Progressive Front. In 2005, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party was licenced; it is the first legal political party that is neither socialist nor Pan-Arab to be legalized. While some socialist and liberal opposition parties now enjoy a limited degree of toleration, Kurdish and Assyrian parties remain more repressed, and the ban on religious parties is very strictly enforced. During the Syrian uprising a New Parties Law gave the right to create Political Parties outside National Progressive Front, until now 3 parties had been Licenced.
