With 66 votes against, 17 votes in favor and 3 abstentions, the Government’s proposal on approving the law on amnesty in a fast-track procedure failed to receive support in Parliament.
“I note that the proposal of the Government has not been adopted,” said the Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi.
Previously, the opposition VMRO-DPMNE announced that it would block the implementation of the law by submitting a large number of amendments, and SDSM also announced amendments in order to exempt from amnesty those convicted in the “Monster” case.
