Constitutional Court judges should not be elected because of the European Commission (EC) and the arrival of the EC President, but because of the rule of law and the integrity of institutions, believes Social Democrat MP Boris Mugoša.
In a post on the X network, he said that the two theses of the "truncated majority" regarding the election of Constitutional Court judges are interesting.
"That the Constitutional Court judges must be elected on Tuesday and that this is proof of the European profiling of the parties," said Mugoša.
According to him, this is being said by "European" parties that, due to "mutual blackmail, bargaining and calculations", have been obstructing the election of a Constitutional Court judge to replace Milorad Gogić for 15 months, because his position ended at the end of May last year.
This, he said, is what the "European" parties are saying, which at the end of last year, in violation of the Constitution and the law, determined the termination of the function of judge Dragana Đuranović, which was stated in the opinion of the Venice Commission and the EC.
"This is what the 'European' parties are saying, which, due to their anti-democratic and essentially anti-constitutional behavior, have been obstructing the debate and voting at the plenary session for four and a half months on the proposal of President Jakov Milatović for a judge of the Constitutional Court, because the office of judge Budimir Šćepanović ceased at the end of May this year," Mugoša said.
The second thesis, as Mugoša said, is that "the truncated majority repeats the agreed thesis that they proposed/elected the best candidates to the Constitutional Committee."
"The fact is that the committee members from the truncated 'European' majority did not explain why the proposed candidates were the best, or better than the others, but rather could not wait to vote as soon as possible and raise their hands for the candidates agreed upon 'behind the scenes', through party bargaining, while they abstained from voting for the other candidates," Mugoša said.
He said that in all of this, "European parties with truncated majorities did it without dialogue with the opposition."
"Although this is the intention of the constitutional norm, because a qualified majority is required for the election of judges of the Constitutional Court, it violates the signed agreement on resolving problems in the Constitutional Court, which was signed in the presence and guarantees of the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Montenegro," Mugoša said.
He added that the majority did all this knowing that the proposed candidates did not have the support of the Bosniak Party for election to parliament.
Mugoša believes that everything is clear in this situation.
"This is another show of facade democracy and 'eye-watering' European partners," Mugoša assessed.
He said that Constitutional Court judges should not be elected due to the arrival of EC President Ursula von der Leyen.
"For the umpteenth time, I repeat that we should not elect Constitutional Court judges because of the EC and the arrival of its president, but because of us, the rule of law, strengthening the independence and integrity of institutions, and what the 'European' truncated majority is doing is not the way to achieve that goal," Mugoša said.
He said that it is necessary to move from European rhetoric to European actions.
"Which, especially in this most complex phase of the EU integration path, understand the opposition not as a decoration for the majority, but as an indispensable link in the process," Mugoša concluded.
