Skopje, 3 May 2024 (MIA) - Vice-President and MP of DUI and the "European Front" coalition, Arber Ademi, after Friday's panel on the Badinter rule said it was necessary to consistently respect Badinter majority in order to have functioning institutions and democracy in action.

"The intention of introducing this mechanism and instrument precisely with the Ohrid Framework Agreement was so that there would be no majoritarianism, the outvoting of the majority over the non-majority communities. This debate is another event that we organize in terms of raising public awareness around all these harmful narratives that are used by the opposition. Badinter cannot be destroyed. But what does Badinter mean? Badinter implicitly establishes that the representation of the will of the non-majority community cannot remain negligible. So, you can have a government with 61 MPs, but with Badinter at the same time so that we don't complain later that the institutions don't work, and the reform processes don't move forward," said Ademi. 

He pointed out that voting a new government is laid down in the Constitution and the constitutional provisions will be applied accordingly.

In response to a reporter's question on how they will act if VMRO-DPMNE does not form a coalition with the winning ethnic Albanian party, Ademi stressed that they are not worried about that issue at all.

"We are not concerned about that issue at all. I will point out once again that for us, as a political option, the focus is on the unbreakable partnership with the citizens. The victory of the "European Front" will be even greater on May 8, because the Albanians know how to punish all those who sit in someone else's lap for the sake of power. It is very important for us who the citizens will support. Therefore, we try and do our best to be at the service of the citizens and to fight for the cause of the citizens, and not for the cause of any Macedonian political party," Ademi said.
