The passivity of the parliamentary majority and the Government, and their calculations and blackmail, led to the abolition of the Sunday holiday, and no concrete alternative solution was proposed, announced Social Democrats (SD) MP Boris Mugoša.
"Due to the passivity of the majority (the parliamentary majority and the Government), their calculations around sensitive issues, constant inter-coalition blackmail and bargaining that often put numerous real socio-political challenges in the background, we have come to a situation where the Constitutional Court has abolished the Sunday holiday, without the majority in the Parliament and the Government coming up with a concrete alternative solution," Mugoša wrote on the Iks website.
Mugoša, commenting on the abolition of Sunday off in stores, stated that what he had been pointing out and warning about for a long time had happened.
According to him, although the Constitutional Court reminded the Government and the Parliament back in November that they were running out of time to react, before the judges of that court assessed the (un)constitutionality of the non-working Sunday, they did not take the necessary actions.
"That is why I proposed a session of the Committee on Economics on the topic of non-working Sundays, where we will discuss with the authorities all important aspects of this issue and where, among other things, I will once again point out the necessity of urgently proposing and adopting solutions to enable non-working Sundays," said Mugoša.
He also believes that it is unacceptable that the Constitutional Court took six years to decide on the initiative regarding the (un)constitutionality of Sundays as a non-working day.
"I want to believe that such a practice will not happen again," Mugoša concluded.
