URA Civic Movement will not end the Parliament boycott and give legitimacy to general elections fraud. The European Commission must finally decide whether it is on the side of the totalitarian and repressive regime of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) or on the side of democracy, along with all free citizens of Montenegro, the URA leader Dritan Abazovic said after today’s meeting with representatives of the European Mission in Podgorica.
He pointed out that the opposition must not break the Parliament boycott without obtaining the election date, because it would “give legitimacy to the empty theses of the organised crime group, which illegally usurped the power”.
“However, if some of the opposition colleagues decide to end the boycott, the URA Civic Movement will be the last to return to the assembly,” said Abazovic.
He called to mind that URA did not conduct a passive boycott, but was actively trying to maintain cohesion between opposition parties in order to “respond to the criminal regime more effectively”. He also presented the “Plan for Solving the Political Crisis” to the diplomats. The plan was earlier proposed to all opposition parties.
“We are pleased that the European Commission is finally abandoning its passive position and engaging in political developments, even if it happens thanks to the US Vice President Mike Pence’s visit. We do not ask the European Union to respect the opposition parties, but we demand respect for 150,000 citizens of Montenegro who are struggling for democratic changes,” Abazovic said.
He also reminded the ambassadors and head of the EU delegation that “DPS was solely responsible for Montenegro’s deep political crisis and the fact that political processes were paralyzed for over a year”. According to him, DPS leadership is using such a situation to push its scandalous laws.
“By an anti-European practice, DPS is trying to push through the scandalous Law on Spatial Planning and Construction, by which it will sell out and completely privatise Montenegro. Such legal solutions, which abolish Montenegrin municipalities and degrade them to the status of local communities, were not proposed even by the government of Milo Djukanovic,” Abazovic pointed out.
Abazovic reiterated that the Montenegrin economy was in a catastrophic state and that organised crime was getting stronger, and that “we needed to unblock paralysed institutions trapped by the influence of the organised crime group leaders”.
