The spokeswoman of the Democratic People's Party, Jovana Todorović, condemned the "primitive attack by an unknown citizen" on former minister Vesna Bratić.
"As a member of the weaker sex, I point out that the simple treatment of women, such as the public attack on Vesna Bratić, along with curses and insults bordering on physical confrontation, must finally come to an end. Especially at a time when our country is making more and more progress on the European path, where there is no place for misogyny and kabadahic behavior towards any woman, mother, sister and daughter in Montenegro," announced Todorović.
It is particularly worrying, he says, that Bratić pointed out in her public statement that she had noticed certain threatening signals before, "so the competent authorities must take more concrete account of her personal safety".
"Bratić is certainly right when she points out that the attacks against her also occur as a result of the spread of hate speech on social networks, which does not contribute to the level of tolerance or respect for all women in Montenegro," it added.
The DNP spokeswoman called on all competent authorities, the police and the prosecutor on duty at the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica to "proceed the unfortunate case, because women in Montenegro experience various forms of threats, from verbal to physical attacks, in a worrying number of cases."
"Therefore, I support all the appeals of relevant institutions and responsible individuals, who sided with Vesna Bratić, emphasizing that a peaceful civil life without threats and violence on the street and anywhere, especially towards women, represents one of the fundamental perspectives of our society as a whole," he concludes. in the announcement.
