Skopje, 12 November 2021 (MIA) – Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy Arjanit Hoxha and two deputy-ministers coming from Besa resigned from their posts on Friday. “The resignations are tendered due to the violation of democracy at the local elections by part of this Government, primarily by the DUI-appointed Deputy PM. Manipulative methods were used and the trend continued yesterday, considered the most embarrassing day in our democracy. Therefore, I resign from the post minister, together with the two deputy-ministers, because Besa cannot identify its political activities with a coalition partner that clearly uses undemocratic actions to stay in power. If a regime was toppled in 2016, its other part was not but got a chance to undergo reforms. Five years later, they are not reformed and have even perfected their methods of a classical regime,” said Hoxha. According to him, the country’s Euro-integration path is not in jeopardy, but democracy is under threat by DUI. Besa does not know the whereabouts of MP Kastriot Rexhepi, but expect him to elaborate his actions on Monday, as announced by the lawmaker himself. “His actions go against the party’s decisions and measures will surely follow,” noted Hoxha. On the possibility of Alternativa joining the parliamentary majority, Hoxha said “this is suicide for any party”.
