translate English to French: Although the discriminatory potential of the financial requirements for candidates in parliamentary elections deserved to be examined, that rule was imposed not by the Government but by the political parties, which were registered as associations.
S'il convient d'examiner le caractère éventuellement discriminatoire des obligations financières des candidats aux élections législatives, il s'agit cependant d'une règle imposée non pas par l'État, mais par les partis politiques, qui ont le statut d'associations.
