The Vice President of the Municipal Committee of the Socialist People's Party (SNP) Podgorica, Željko Peruničić, assessed that if the party does not implement radical reforms, it will face a loss of political relevance.
"This is not the time for cosmetic changes, but for a deep review of our internal mechanisms and the way we make decisions. Only a serious and responsible turn can return the SNP to the path of political strength and the trust of citizens," Peruničić said.
He believes that democratization within the party is urgent.
"It is urgently necessary to strengthen institutions within the party and precisely define responsibilities. The SNP must become a party in which every member has the right to vote, not just the right to be present. Without that, there is neither true unity nor a true fight for the values we proclaim."
Peruničić says that the party's political program "must be built from below, from the people and from the field."
"Members, activists, people who experience the problems of their communities every day – they are our strength and they must be our first interlocutors. Their needs, ideas and initiatives must shape the direction of the SNP. Only in this way will we once again become an authentic political force that does not follow others, but sets standards. It is time to say clearly – changes are not a matter of choice, but of necessity," said Peruničić.
