SDSM, North Macedonia’s ruling party proposed motion for amending the Law on Political Parties to increase transparency and oblige the parties to distance themselves from the fascism, Nazism and national socialism, but also from ethnic intolerance and spreading hatred. The draft law will allow greater transparency, both for the current and future political parties, and guarantee the legal well being for the people, as expected in a democratic, modern, and civilized legal state, the party explains.
The first article of the draft law for amending the Law on Political Parties stipulates that the statutes, the programs and the activities of the political parties must not incite and foment national, racial or religious hatred, intolerance, ethnic intolerance, hatred, genocide, extermination or support fascism, Nazism, national socialism and the Third Reich or revoke events or persons connected with them.
The political parties will have to adjust within 3 months after the passing of the law.
