Antonije Milošovski, the President of the Assembly and a delegate from VMRO-DPMNE, stated that several left-wing parties are opposed to approving the proposed amendments to the Electoral Code. Speaking in his capacity as a member of the working group tasked with revising the legislation, Milošovski clarified that the left-wing parties are not the representatives responsible for preparing the proposal to reject the changes. Milošovski outlined specific conditions for the adoption of the amendments to the Electoral Code.
He asserted that any revised legislation must incorporate the necessary recommendations provided by the OSCE/ODIHR. However, he emphasized that the amendments should exclude Article 76d, which addresses the regulations concerning electoral advertising. The core disagreement, according to the statement, centers on this specific provision, as the left-wing parties insist on amending Article 76d, creating a point of contention that prevents broader consensus on the entire package.
The discussion highlights a significant divergence in political viewpoints regarding the final structure of the electoral framework. The stated opposition from the left-wing factions suggests that their resistance is focused specifically on the scope of campaign advertising rules within the proposed electoral code, rather than a blanket rejection of all electoral reforms.
