RSCM Government Urges Opposition to Proposed Law Amendments
Skopje – The North Macedonian Government has issued a formal request to delegates not to support proposed amendments to the Law on Games and Fun Games. The amendments, as reported by Portalb.mk, would exclude ethnic organizations, individual organizations, and the Red Cross from utilizing funds for work with vulnerable categories. The government’s stance follows significant concern raised by several organizations regarding the potential implications of the changes.
Representatives of these organizations argue that the proposed amendments extend beyond a simple technical adjustment and could have substantial, long-term consequences. Specifically, the groups emphasize the continued need for direct support for individuals with disabilities, victims of family and clan-based violence, elderly individuals, children, young people, women, Roma populations, and disabled people. They contend that restricting funding access for these organizations undermines crucial support networks within Macedonia.
The debate centers on the significance of the law and its potential impact on vulnerable communities. The government’s position highlights a disagreement over the scope and intent of the proposed amendments, focusing on the role of organizations in supporting key demographics within the country. The discussion is ongoing as delegates consider the proposed changes to the law.
