Liste der politischen Parteien in Syrien

Vorlage:Politics of Syria This article lists political parties in Syria. While not formally a single-party state, all political life in Syria is controlled by the Baath Party through a political "front", much like in Communist countries. 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 under severe restrictions, as members of the National Progressive Front. Most of them are essentially reduced to tools of the government. 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. A considerable number of opposition parties operate outside the law, more or less clandestinely. 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 2011 a New Parties Law gave the right to create Political Parties outside National Progressive Front , until now 3 parties had been Licenced.
