The talk of amending the Constitution outside the procedure for amending the Constitution is an act of naked destruction of both the Constitution and the state, said today the president of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and one of the leaders of the European Alliance, Ivan Vujović.
"What is hidden behind the insidious story about the so-called amendments to the Constitution? The story about amendments to the Constitution outside the procedure for amending the Constitution is an act of naked demolition of both the Constitution and the state," Vujović said in a statement.
He pointed out that Andrija Mandić, in yesterday's interview, only recycled a long-standing thesis of advocates of overthrowing the Montenegrin Constitution and its EU path, that, allegedly, through so-called amendments to the Constitution, the language of the Constitution can be changed without the procedure for amending the Constitution, which is strictly prescribed by Articles 155, 156 and 157 of the Constitution.
"These 'experts' want to say that the so-called amendment will not change the Constitution, and therefore that the clear constitutional procedure for changing the Constitution does not bind them. Such nonsense can only be spread by people who have dangerously bad intentions towards the state and its stability, and our great tragedy is that such destructive people are in the highest positions of power," Vujović pointed out.
He added that amendments to the Constitution are treated logically through the institute of constitutional amendment, as clearly stated in paragraph 2 of Article 155 of the Constitution, which reads: 'A proposal to amend the Constitution may propose an amendment or supplement to individual provisions of the Constitution or the adoption of a new constitution.'
"Of course, it is not a question of the absence of common legal sense on the part of Mandić and Knežević, nor of their inability to interpret and read what any layman or elementary school student can," he said.
He also said that by announcing "such constitutional and legal violence", they want to destabilize Montenegro and cause chaos, division and polarization that only suits the enemies of a stable and successful Montenegro, as the first future member of the EU.
"Therefore, Knežević's ultimatum to the Government, obviously supported by Mandić, has a clear goal - that the overthrow of the Constitution through complete destabilization be, in the first phase, an instrument for the overthrow of Montenegro's EU membership, and then essentially the state itself," Vujović concluded.
