The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) plans to ban its activities with the proposed Law on the Prohibition of Fascist, Nazi and Extreme Nationalist Organizations and Their Symbols, said New Serbian Democracy (NSD) spokesperson Mirko Miličić.
The DPS parliamentary group announced that it will propose to the Parliament a Law on the Prohibition of Fascist, Nazi and Extreme Nationalist Organizations and Their Symbols.
In his reaction, Miličić assessed that DPS is thus planning to implement "what the people have wanted for 35 years."
"And that is a ban on their activities, because there is no party in the history of this country that, during its absolutist rule, has more successfully covered itself with the false cloak of anti-fascism, while from positions of power it has beaten and imprisoned citizens of this country who were seeking freedom and democracy," Miličić said.
Referring to DPS's allegations that they want to introduce a ban on "falsification of unambiguously established historical facts", Miličić said that the party must clarify which facts they are referring to.
"Because some were relevant to them in the 1990s, others in the 2000s, others in the 2010s, and now we are entering a fourth stage, and again we come to the factual situation that with this bill, DPS wants to free Montenegro from itself, because no matter how we turn it around, we come to them," said Milićić.
He recalled that DPS refused to vote for the Declaration on the Acceptance of the Resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on the Condemnation of Totalitarian Communist Regimes, which our party proposed in the Parliament of Montenegro in 2009.
"In this way, DPS has clearly aligned itself with the anti-European forces, because as everyone knows, the EU is firmly against all totalitarian regimes, not only Nazi and fascist, but also communist," Miličić assessed.
He said that it would be good for the DPS to explain in what way Sekule Drljević and Savić Marković Štedimlija are representatives of "anti-fascist" Montenegro.
"It would be good if they explained in what way the duo in question is a representative of "anti-fascist" Montenegro, especially considering that at the peak of their political power they incorporated lyrics written by the same Drljević into the anthem of this country, and whether this law prohibits an anthem that contains lyrics by a declared fascist," the response states.
Miličić said that NSD MPs will help their colleagues from DPS in their attempt to "ban their own party."
"So that our colleagues from the DPS do not worry that their law will be misunderstood and their "noble plan" will not fail, we will help them in their intention to ban their own party, because we will propose an amendment that will clearly define this," said Milačić.
