A serious scandal that directly threatens our European prospects, the opposition Alternative, assessed after the Dutch ambassador revealed that the Netherlands stopped the project for the Judicial Council due to corruption.

"A serious scandal that directly threatens our European prospects. We should not fool ourselves into thinking that this is something that will pass in three days. Alternative expresses deep concern about such decisions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The key dilemma is whether a new obstacle is being announced on the way to the EU, now because of the high level of corruption? If the Government is really as committed to the European path as it persistently declares in public, then it must not remain silent about this serious scandal. The narrative that the executive and legislative powers do not interfere with the third, independent, judicial power has long gone nowhere, especially because of the brutal partisanship of every instance in the judiciary. Therefore, the Minister of Justice, Krenar Loga, at least out of shame, should immediately submit his irrevocable resignation and publicly admit that Arben Taravari, he and the Alliance for Albanians are complicit in the partisan experiences of DUI and SDSM in the judiciary to the detriment of the state's strategic track ", they say from Alternative.

Afrim Gashi's party reminds that seven months ago, as the ruling party, they proposed a constitutional amendment to prevent the statute of limitations for crimes committed with political corruption by elected and appointed persons.

"A proposal that met with a high degree of understanding by our most important international partners. Unfortunately, the most responsible in the current Government, DUI and SDSM, instead of accepting the amendment, they accused us through their megaphones daily, party-wise, of imposing our conditions for supporting the process of constitutional amendments. No one else from outside will do our homework, but only ourselves. There is no running away from painful topics. Sooner or later, justice must be faced. "Right now is the moment for all parliamentary parties to agree to intervene in the Constitution and create legal mechanisms that will guarantee that no professional politician who has made a mistake will be able to avoid justice due to party influence in the judiciary," said Alternativa.

The party assesses that the EU integration of North Macedonia will no longer depend only on the inclusion of Bulgarians in the Constitution and that the sooner we understand the reality, the better for everyone!
