Democratic Front (DF) Presidency will consider in the next few days the political platform it received from the Key coalition, the Democrats and the Socialist Democratic Party (SDP), the alliance stated. DF said a co-ministerial interim government which would include the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) is acceptable for them.
DF Presidency submitted a proposal on joint extra-parliamentary opposition activities to the Key coalition, the Democrats and SDP a week ago and is still waiting for their response.
“Since our original offer for organising protests against election fraud and false coup on the very election day was rejected by certain opposition leaders, we came up with a new compromise proposal a week ago. It includes ideas and suggestions that opposition colleagues verbally presented at previous joint meetings,” DF added.
According to the alliance, its proposal defines a precise path based on the opposition unity to depose the current Cabinet, organise new elections and create a reliable and competent alternative to the present government.
DF added that the structure and democratic principles that would help achieving the goal were forming an opposition government and an opposition parliament which would consist of 39 opposition MPs.
“Since the boycott proved to be the most effective tool in the fight against the regime, DF will continue to strive for organising new elections with the help of this efficient political tool. The elections would be prepared by a co-ministerial interim government”, DF stated.
The president of the Movement for Change (PzP) and one of DF leaders Nebojsa Medojevic told Pobjeda newspaper that it would be acceptable for DF to participate in the government along with DPS.
Medojevic said that their key demand was fulfilled with Milo Djukanovic’s withdrawal.
“Since Djukanovic stepped down from power, there is no obstacle for the Democratic Party of Socialists to be in the co-ministerial interim government. Each department would be headed by two officials – one from the government and another from the opposition – who would have equal powers,” said Medojevic.
Medojevic said that special attention should be paid to “cleaning the electoral roll”, which the previous government of electoral trust failed to complete.
“DF will push for the adoption of a lex specialis, which would empower the State Election Commission (SEC) to remove from the electoral roll each person who has no residence in Montenegro for two years”, PzP leader said.
Medojevic also explained that the lex specialis would prevent the mass arrival of the diaspora from Luxembourg and Western Europe to vote, since they have lived abroad for years and decades and supported Djukanovic on the last elections.
“Also, we will require regulating the media scene, particularly in order to curb campaigns by certain media from Serbia,” Medojevic said without specifying details.
