Beyer: There’s a third party behind every protest

Protests are everywhere, even in Berlin, almost every week. They’re organized either in front of the Brandenburg Gate or Reichstag building. It’s very important for every politician to hear the requests of protesters but not to forget that every protest is backed by some third party, Peter Beyer, a Coordinator of Transatlantic Cooperation in the German Bundestag and member of the CDU parliamentary group, told Pobjeda, a daily.

Mr Beyer emphasized that an unhindered protests best prove that democracy in a country functions well.

“Of course the protesters always have their own interests but they’re entitled to come out and defend those same interests on the elections held every four years,” he clarified for Pobjeda daily.

He said loud and clear – the parliament is the only place where political discussions should take place and urged the Montenegrin politicians to strengthen the institutions where they represent the people.

Germany will continue to back Montenegro’s EU integrations, reiterated Mr Beyer. “The fact Montenegro joined NATO Alliance in 2017 was a great success for this country. Now we have even greater aim – to enter the European Union, but there’s still a lot of work to be done for such a small country as Montenegro is. The country’s progress is evident and we are happy for that.”
