VMRO-DPMNE MP Toni Jarevski in an interview with TV 24 stressed that the amendments to the Electoral Code were the result of a multi-month process that began in March and was based on three key pillars. He pointed out that the first pillar of the amendments was the implementation of the OSCE and ODIHR recommendations, the second was the introduction of electronic voting for the diaspora, and the third concerns the financing of political parties.
Jarevski also explained that the caretaker government will not be scrapped for the next election cycle, but that the amendment will be valid from the next parliamentary elections, in order to avoid different interpretations in the public.
“First of all, the caretaker government was not scrapped, there will be a caretaker government againin the next election cycle, it is abolished from the next parliamentary elections purely so that there is no confusion among the population because that was also a topic of different interpretations, secondly, what is very important to point out is that this process did not start now a week or two ago, it started since March with different intensity and dynamics, but it lasted the whole time, what is the basis of the process, why we made this Electoral Code, the three pillars are: the first, implementation of the recommendations of the OSCE and ODIHR, the second thing that is new now with the Electoral Code is electronic voting for the diaspora and the third segment was the financing of political parties,” said MP Jarevski.
