Social Democratic Party (SDP) is firm in its belief that until the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) shows readiness to organise snap elections with the presidential ones, Parliament boycott should stay in force, the party’s presidency member Ivan Vujovic told Dan.
Vujovic said that any responsible regime would organise parliamentary elections at the same time with the forthcoming presidential and local elections.
“Therefore, there is an easy way to start solving the crisis for those who want stabile Montenegro. However, it’s obvious that DPS does not want such a country,” Vujovic said.
He also said that conflicts between Prime Minister Dusko Markovic and DPS leader Milo Djukanovic were increasingly obvious.
“Therefore there are attempts to cover up those conflicts by trying to cause crisis in municipalities in which DPS lost power. They do not care what means they use to achieve the goal – they use well-known propaganda and spying methods, bribery and playing with people’s weaknesses and egos to undermine the opposition authorities,” Vujovic adds.
Milos Konatar from URA Civic Movement said that boycott was not a whim but an expression of a concrete viewpoint, which he hoped the rest of the opposition would uphold.
“The issue of boycotting is not a matter of political adventurism, but a clear viewpoint, which, I hope, the rest of the opposition will uphold. Boycott is a response to irregular conditions that have resulted in an illegitimate and illegal Parliament of Montenegro. If someone decides to return to the parliament and end the boycott, it would automatically mean that he/she recognises and accepts the results of such illegitimate and illegal elections. Such a scenario would be absolutely beneficial for DPS, which has remained isolated with its political satellites by the boycott,” Konatar said.
