The VMRO-DPMNE parliamentary group will return to the parliamentary benches and with amendments to try and stop the adoption of the Law on the use of Languages, said the party’s vice-president Mitko Janchev at a press conference.
“The proponents want to push the unconstitutional law on bilingualism by force, and it is not only detrimental to VMRO-DPMNE, but to the Republic of Macedonia. The government’s decision not to withdraw the law and not to open a constructive debate over the law could cause long-term consequences for the country and disrupt the cohesion among citizens. VMRO-DPMNE is on the side of the people and the Republic of Macedonia and therefore, wil do everything to defend the country and national interests”, said Janchev.
He added that the VMRO-DPMNE parliamentary group will return to Parliament to convince MPs from parliament about the risk of the consequences of adopting this law, which he says, not only goes beyond the framework of the Constitution and the Ohrid Framework Agreement, but puts them in a subordinate position to all other ethnic communities in the Republic of Macedonia.
