DUI has fiercely criticised Justice Minister Igor Filkov over his stand, presented in an interview with Fokus, that due to the non-adoption of the Electoral Code changes, not passed because there was no majority from MPs representing smaller ethnic communities, the time has perhaps come to think about the need to revise the Badinter majority concept.
Such ideas are dangerous because, that way, interethnic relations are violated and aggravated, DUI assessed on Thursday.
According to Ali Ahmeti’s party, the public has already witnessed how the current cabinet has since the very start of its term had an agenda to systematically attack the Ohrid Framework Agreement (OFA).
Also on Thursday, asked whether the cabinet was thinking about revising the Badinter principle, PM Hristijan Mickoski stated that that was part of the OFA, which was in turn part of the Constitution, so it was a closed topic.
Regarding the Balancer issue, abolished by the Constitutional Court, Mickoski stated that the tool had been an essential and institutional problem, adding that it was supposed to be solved with an equitable representation law that would include not only the ethnic component, but also one for evaluation of qualities and competences of candidates for employment.
