For the past few days, we have been witnessing threats and hate speech directed at the deputy of the Democratic People's Party (DNP), Maja Vukićević, just because she bravely expressed her position and voted against the entry of the so-called state of Kosovo into the Council of Europe. It is an understatement to say that such attacks on women in politics are absolutely reprehensible, and condemnation means nothing if we do not fundamentally change this attitude towards MPs and women in politics, announced the general secretary of Prava Montenegro, Aleksandra Deletić.

"We must not allow women in politics to be targeted and exposed to insults because of their views and opinions. Deputy Vukićević deserves our full support in facing these unjust attacks. This is a reminder that educating the population about democratic processes and respecting different views and opinions is essential importance for the preservation of democracy. In a democratic society, freedom of expression and the right to political action are fundamental rights that must be protected and respected," the statement said.

Deletić said that she calls on all citizens and institutions to join in condemning such threats and hate speech, and to engage in the promotion of a culture of dialogue and respect for diversity in political discourse.

"MP Maja Vukićević has our full support in continuing her work in accordance with her beliefs and principles. We will continue to fight for equality, freedom and democracy in society, regardless of political beliefs or gender," Deletić concluded.
