The inclusion of the proposal of the Law on the electoral roll on the agenda of the Assembly session is a new attempt to overthrow the Committee for the Comprehensive Reform of Electoral Legislation, which is carried out on the orders of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, in order to collapse the European path of Montenegro at the very moment when there is a chance that this European the path intensifies, announced the head of the parliamentary group of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) in the Parliament of Montenegro Andrija Nikolić.
He commented on the intention of the parliamentary majority, which was announced today at the Collegium of the President of the Assembly, to once again include the proposal of the Law on the Voter List on the agenda.
"We will see if they will persist in that intention," said Nikolić.
DON'T MISS IT
He pointed out that the Law on the Voter List, in accordance with the agreement signed by both the government and the opposition representatives, during the formation of the Committee for Comprehensive Electoral Reform, is something that should be the content and subject of decision-making by the Committee for Comprehensive Reform of Electoral Legislation.
"We also talked about a topic that was current in the previous days and that was reported by the media, and it concerns two initiatives of the opposition for control hearings at the Committee for Economy, Finance and Budget. We have not moved from what were the initial positions. The parliamentary majority still refuses to allow the Committee for Economy, Finance and Budget to have a supervisory role over the work of the Government. Which means that even though they don't know anything about the 'Europe Now 2' program, they don't want to be informed about it. What's more, not only do they not want to be informed, but they obstruct and violate the Rules of Procedure of the Parliament of Montenegro, which in Article 75 stipulates that the parliamentary opposition, as a contribution to the supervisory role of the Parliament, has the right during a regular session to initiate twice by a third of the members of that Committee's control hearing on certain topics and that after that the Committee decides on it and informs the Assembly", NIkolić said.
Nikolić stated that the practice that has been established since the beginning of this convocation of the parliament is not good and said that it clearly aims "not only to destroy any potential agreement within the Committee for Comprehensive Reform and Electoral Legislation, but also to exclude the opposition from the of parliamentary life".
Nikolić emphasized that the latest events related to the dismissal of police director Zoran Brđanin show that an "anarchistic state continues with the aim of establishing political control in the security sector."
"I think things are completely clear here. The law clearly stipulates how the director of the Police Directorate is selected. Now the representatives of the parliamentary majority, i.e. the Government, have come up with a new model that the law does not recognize, all with the aim of continuing the political struggle for control over the police. Because what would happen next after such a proposed model for overcoming this problem that they cannot agree on politically - to organize a public competition through social networks and let whoever gets the most likes be the director of the Police Administration. This is an anarchist situation that is obviously continuing, all with the aim of establishing political control over the security sector in Montenegro," NIkolić concluded.
