b. Once the file has been initiated, the instructor will arrange for all the actions and evidence that he deems necessary to be carried out, such as the statement of the interested party, witness statements, provision of documents or any other procedure.
In the event that the file has been initiated due to non-payment of the membership fee, the instructor will give a period of 15 business days for the member to correct the aforementioned non-compliance.
If the aforementioned obligation is fully reestablished, the instructor will pass the proceedings to the Disciplinary Commission, which will resolve the dismissal and archive of the file and will notify the affected member.
c. Once this phase is completed, the investigator of the file will present a report-proposal to the Disciplinary Commission and it will decide between dismissing the case and filing the file, or charging the interested party with the statement of objections. The decision will be made by simple majority and will be reliably communicated in writing to the interested party.
d. The statement of objections will include a list of the facts that are attributed to the partner and will allow him a time of no less than 5 calendar days so that he can, in writing, present the statement of defenses and the proposal for the taking of evidence that he considers within his defense. This letter will be transferred to the file instructor.
e. Once the time period has passed to present the document of defense and, if necessary, carry out the proposed tests, the Commission will issue a resolution within a maximum period of 20 business days.
f. The resolution of the Disciplinary Commission may be exculpatory for the accused, and may order the dismissal and archiving of the file or conviction, with determination of the sanction that is imposed. In both cases, the resolution will be reasoned, the interested party will be reliably notified and will be warned of the appropriate appeal, if any, and of the time to file it.
g. At the beginning of the file, or at any time during the process, and if circumstances make it advisable, the Disciplinary Commission may agree to provisionally suspend the membership status.
h. Between the agreement to initiate the file and the notification to the interested party of the resolution of the Disciplinary Commission referred to in section f), no more than 3 months may elapse. The aforementioned time, which cannot be extended, will mean the expiration of the file and the archiving of the proceedings.
i. The same procedure will be followed, by the Board of Directors of the Federation of Comparsas, for the imposition of sanctions due to infractions by the Comparsas, according to the provisions of Art. 99 of the Statute of the Federation. The General Assembly will proceed in the same way, when it comes to the imposition of sanctions on the President or members of the Board of Directors, for the infractions foreseen in relation to their positions in the Federation, regulated in this chapter.
Article 109.- Appeals against allegations.
Against the disciplinary agreements adopted by the Disciplinary Commission for infractions related to associative conduct and also against any other decision approved by the Board of Directors of the Federation, a claim may be made before the judicial authority, within the deadlines established by the procedural legislation.
The filing of appeals does not suspend the enforceability of the appeal agreements, except when circumstances arise that so advise, at the discretion of the reviewing body, with the prior reasoned request of the interested party.
Article 110.- Registry of sanctions.
All sanctions imposed will be reflected in the books of the Federation established in articles 79.1 and 79.4 of these Regulations.
The corresponding annotations of the sanctions imposed on the partners will be canceled after one year, two years and five years after they have been completed, depending on whether they have been imposed for minor, serious or very serious infractions respectively.
Transitional provision to article 17.1 letter d, on special rows.
For those Comparsas that today already have a Filada of this type, as is the case with the Abbasires Comparsa and its “Negros del Kharib-bhe” Filada, or with the Marroc’s Comparsa and its “Negros Marrakesch” filadas and “Layas” may continue in the same way until the day on which said Filada “de Negros” stops participating in the Festival, at which time said Comparsas will once again be integrated into the general rule that affects the issue of the Special Filadas “de Negros”.

6. These Internal Regulations are reformed at the proposal of the Board of Directors and the Board of Presidents, approved at the Extraordinary General Assembly held on January 13, 2019.
Articles 20 and 21 are modified because, although the Internal Regime Regulations of the Federation Union of Comparsas de Moros y Cristianos Ber-Largas, as drafted, guarantee the necessary balance between the fundamental rights included in articles 14 and 22 of the Spanish Constitution, however, this reform is proposed in order to regulate those interpretation imbalances that at some point in the history of our Festivals have been authorized without the statutory modification.
