Things got heated again at the meeting of the parliamentary opposition groups today. They tried to agree on running on a joint slate in the forthcoming parliamentary elections, but as the agreement failed to happen, they will give it another try tomorrow.
The Democratic Front, DF, proposed today a single list for the elections in August, while the Democrats proposed a boycott, CdM learns from a well-informed source.
However, as everybody was against the boycott of the elections, the Democrats decided to give it up and accept a single list, requiring that it [the list] must not include MPs with three mandates in the parliament, as the problem is not in the list but in people on it.
Representatives of the DF then reacted strongly, noting that it was not an acceptable solution for them as it excluded its leaders, but were ready to discuss other models.
The proposal of the Democrats was backed by the Social People’s Party, SNP, and the United Montenegro.
“Then, in one moment, all parties accepted to have a single list, i.e. the DF, SNP, the Democrats, the United Montenegro and even Demos.”
But representatives of URA had something to say – they could not accept it, as they didn’t want to go hand in hand with the DF. Their proposal was to have the opposition on one list and URA to boycott the elections.
URA then faced fierce criticism of all the parties that were at the meeting, and was told that either they would negotiate running on a joint slate in the elections or none of them would take part.
