Skopje, 18 August 2023 (MIA) – Constitutional amendments are not meant to be made under dictate. Constitutional amendments under dictate will not happen, but early parliamentary elections must happen, said VMRO-DPMNE’s parliamentary whip, Nikola Micevski, at a press conference Friday after Parliament’s session.

“After a whole year of manipulations from the Government, it became evident that Parliament does not have a two-third majority for the constitutional amendments. There are no 80 MPs in Parliament, while outside of Parliament over 80 percent of the people oppose the constitutional amendments under Bulgarian dictate,” said Micevski.

The VMRO-DPMNE party whip said constitutional amendments are not meant to be made under dictate. This, he said, represents “a trampling of the dignity and integrity of the country, and undermines its sovereignty”. 

“This Government is the problem, and the solution lies in elections. Constitutional amendments under dictate won’t happen, but early parliamentary elections must happen because the Government has been delegitimized,” stressed Micevski.
