Skopje approved a project against BG associations
At today’s meeting, the deputies of the Parliament of the Republic of Macedonia approved the introduction of the draft law proposed by the opposition VMRO-DPMNE to amend and supplement the Law on Associations and Foundations, pred. BGNES.
The proposal was accepted with complete unanimity by all representative 84 MPs without a single “against” or “abstention”.
The document was presented by Rashela Mizrahi from VMRO-DPMNE, which was created to put an end to the opening of associations and foundations whose programs, goals, activities and actions are directed towards the violent destruction of the country’s constitutional order, to incitement and calling for military aggression, as well as inciting national, racial, religious hatred or other intolerance, intolerance, hatred, genocide, extermination, spreading or aiding, inciting and supporting fascism, Nazism, National Socialism and the Third Reich, as well as undertaking activities, associate with terrorism or activities contrary to the Constitution.
“In the last seven months, we witnessed the opening of so-called cultural clubs named after controversial personalities, Nazis and fascists. This law should put an end to the opening of such associations and foundations. The amendments propose that the names, surnames, nicknames, nicknames, abbreviations and initials of persons who in any way, manner or form in the past have been associated with racial, religious , national, ethnic and other bigotry, intolerance, hatred, genocide, extremism, spreading or supporting fascism, Nazism, National Socialism and the Third Reich,” emphasizes Mizrahi.
According to the proposed text, organizations, associations, foundations, unions and other forms of association, registered under the Law on Associations and Foundations, are detained within a three-month period from the entry into force of the legal changes to harmonize their name and/or designations, goals and activities, according to the specified regulations.
We remind you that earlier the vice-chairman of VMRO-DPMNE, Alexander Nikolovski, announced the proposed bill submitted by the party, which would prohibit the composition of names of controversial individuals for the names of civil associations in the Republic of Macedonia.
With the new law, it will not be possible to use names like “Czar Boris” or “Czar Ferdinand”.
“These associations are not financed by the members of the associations, nor by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but by a foundation, where the main financier is a Bulgarian oligarch who supports in the medical business. This is the main issue for the Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and What are these three institutions doing”, he also said and called on the authorities to “put a black stamp on Vrabevski”.
The Deputy Prime Minister for European Affairs Bojan Maricic supported the calls to change the legislation regarding the work of civil associations and foundations. “The opposition’s initiative to change the law is worth discussing. Maric announced that the legislation has no intention of speeding up the inclusion of Bulgarians in the Constitution of the RSM.
