“As Chairman of the working group for amendments to the Electoral Code, I do not believe that we will have a completely new electoral code until the local elections. “The process is complex because there are many proposals from NGOs, experts, journalists, but in the end there is a lot of politics,” said State Counselor at the Ministry of Justice, Radica Lazareska Geroska, at the CIVIL panel discussion on “What laws, such elections.”
“There are representatives of political parties in the working group, besides NGOs, but the process is stuck, we ended on March 22, we had 4 working meetings, one meeting lasted a whole month. Each participant had the right to give an opinion and suggestions to the working group, even the MMA media gave their opinion.
Politics does its thing. In April there was a change in the election process, a political agreement was reached. All the agendas were that the amendments to the Electoral Code were supposed to be voted in May, but today we are May 12 and no solution has been voted yet.
Such an electoral code is very difficult to follow. So far, we have had 25 amendments, the 26th amendment of the Electoral Code is announced “, stressed Lazareska Geroska.
