VMRO-DPMNE has accused both SDS and Levica of obstructing the passage of a new electoral law, which the parties claim has been under discussion for several months with the goal of achieving a broad consensus. According to the ruling party’s statement, SDS opposes the inclusion of e-voting for the Macedonian diaspora, suggesting that SDS argues it has lost the trust of both domestic and international citizens. The statement further asserted that those who purportedly advocated for the diaspora’s interests are now obstructing the law alongside SDS.
In response to these accusations, VMRO-DPMNE also accused Levica of collaborating with SDS to block the law. The party indicated that if the necessary conditions for negotiations are not met, they stated they would block the law in coordination with SDS. The dispute centers on the stalled legislative process and the specific provisions of the proposed electoral reform.
The core disagreement appears to involve the mechanisms for diaspora voting, with SDS cited as the primary opposition point regarding e-voting. VMRO-DPMNE’s accusations suggest a deadlock in the legislative efforts, implying that the passage of the new electoral law requires overcoming significant political hurdles involving multiple parties.
