If the president of the state Jakov Milatović wants to be a pendant of the leader of the New Serbian Democracy (NSD) and the head of the parliament Andrije Mandić, we will not participate in that, said the representative of the Citizens' Movement (GP) URA Filip Adžić.
He said that he was surprised by Milatović's move, that is, the decision to still negotiate with councilors from the Europe Now Movement (PES), "after a series of unconstitutional moves".
"They said everything about each other in a negative sense, President Milatović said that it was an anti-Montenegrin and anti-European option, PES said a lot of negative things about Milatović... I think we have to stick to some principles, because this is Milatović's move that in the end it will be Andrija Mandić's pendant. We will not participate in that," said Adžić on the radio show Drugacija veza.
Adžić sees yesterday's announcement by the 27 councilors of PES-Demokrata and Za budućnost Podgorica as an expected move in political life, but he believes that this is not a reason to create unprincipled agreements.
"I have to congratulate Milojko Spajić and his deputies only for changing the political paradigm, because we moved a little away from identity issues, and focused more on citizens, the economy and certain solutions, or rather promises. However, everything that the citizens expected from them , they have not fulfilled and the only way to stay in power is to be tied to the Democratic Front, that is, to Andrija Mandić it was also seen in the Constitutional Committee, although Spajić said that he wanted a compromise, that he did not want to participate in it, but his deputies were advocates of overthrowing the Constitution," says Adžić.
DON'T MISS IT
Speaking about the formation of the government in Podgorica, he said that URA has a clear and valuable difference with the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and the former Democratic Front (DF).
"When you don't have desirable partners, you can stay on the sidelines or present your platform and lead your policy. A high degree of agreement was reached at the meeting organized by the holder of the list of the European Union, Boris Mugoša. There is a lower degree of agreement regarding personnel solutions, but we reached certain frameworks. Nevertheless, colleagues from the Movement for Podgorica want to listen to the other side as well," explains Adžić.
The play around the Constitutional Court is an attempt to politicize that institution; The goal: to avoid elections in the next few years
Commenting on Prime Minister Milojko Spajić's tweets in the past few days, Adžić says that he sometimes thinks that his official account has been hacked, because he believes that such a politician will not have the legitimacy and seriousness to talk to representatives of NATO or the EU tomorrow.
The game around the Constitutional Court is an attempt to politicize the Constitutional Court, in order to avoid elections in the next few years - Adžić is convinced.
"It is the game of Milojko Spajić and Andrija Mandić to rule in Podgorica, Budva, and later in other municipalities where elections are coming up, so that, without a completed Constitutional Court, they can exercise power beyond the electoral will of the citizens," says Adžić.
A possible non-institutional struggle for the defense of Montenegro
Adžić also says that he does not rule out an extra-institutional struggle for the defense of the Constitution, because the Speaker of the Assembly Andrija Mandić is taking away their floor, and he believes that he will soon remove them from the plenum.
"I'm always in favor of dialogue, but I will definitely be in favor of non-institutional defense of the values we stand for. I have no problem dealing with provocations on the street tomorrow, with protesters, if it were to happen due to, say, the signing of the Basic Agreement (TU). "Sincere emotion, love for Montenegro and the defense of constitutionality is what will always bring me to such gatherings. I will not only be at gatherings where personal interests and empires acquired through criminal activities are defended," he claims Adzic.
If there was another transition of power, as it happened on August 30, 2020, when asked if it would be peaceful, as it was four years ago, Adžić says that no one has the right to privatize the state apparatus.
"Monopolies do not exist in many institutions, this can be seen in the ANB, the Police Directorate, but I am sure in other institutions as well. I am not very worried that there could be unrest due to the transition, but even if there are such attempts, I believe that not would be unstoppable to that extent," concludes Adžić.
