Green values should become mainstream and they should not be part of the green parties but should be accepted by all parties. Green values are supported by SDSM, and then they’ve entered the government procedures, said Robert Alagjozovski, National Coordinator for Interculturalism, One Society, Cultural Development and Interdepartmental Cooperation, at the Conference “Greens are coming 2020”. GREEN CIVIL (organizational unit of CIVIL) in partnership with the Heinrich B Белll Foundation, which is being held today at the Park Residence Hotel (behind the football stadium) starting at 12 o’clock.
At the session “Green values, social justice and anti-nationalism – policies and practices”, Alagjozovski stressed that we had a frustration in 2008 with the blockade from Greece and we saw how the then government behaved, unlike now when the government calls not to use the speech of hatred, dialogue, elimination of discrimination.
Studies show that the implementation of the Framework Agreement is not yielding significant results and that there is still mistrust and ethnic division and more work is needed.
Politics should be patriotic, but not closely linked to one nation.
Citizens opt for non-national, progressive parties, but there are some ethno-national parties that are worrying.
There is too much prejudice, frustration, knowing how to blame others for their incompetence, and it needs to be eradicated.
The use of words and stereotypes when coming from the mouths of those in office can resonate strongly. When we created the strategy for one society, we also took into account the inter-party division.
Those formal and informal centers of power that cause mistrust and division among citizens should be discouraged.
