The Liberal Party announced today that they will hold a protest in front of the Constitutional Court building on Monday, April 29 at 12 noon.
"The reason for the protest was the initiative of the liberals previously submitted to the Constitutional Court of Montenegro on the evaluation of the constitutionality of Article 9 of the Statute of the Municipality of Nikšić, i.e. the addition of Article 9a, which is unconstitutional and which introduces church glory as the Day of the Municipality. The initiative to review and abolish that unconstitutional article is the vice-president LP and councilor in SO Nikšić Jelena Marković, submitted on May 9, 2023, and requested an emergency on this issue a month ago, but until today no response has been received from that institution act on this complaint within 16 days, however, this has not happened to date," the announcement reads.
According to their words, because of this, they, together with all citizens who want more efficient work of the highest state institutions, "and expect them to protect the Constitution, the civil and secular character of the state, will continue to remind the Constitutional Court what their job is and to demand that it finally be initiated this procedure."
"For us, there is no dilemma as to what the only possible fate of our initiative is, so maybe that is the answer why the authorities are silent. We invite all social and political actors, non-governmental organizations, political parties that share civic values, the academic community and all free individuals to join us" , they concluded in the statement.
