The Albanian opposition, the European Front led by the Democratic Union for Integration (BDI) and the Macedonian Social-Democratic League (LSDM) are ready for early parliamentary elections, which would be held next fall together with the local ones.
Experts on political issues in North Macedonia have shared different opinions regarding the election warnings. Some consider election work "inevitable", while others consider it a "minimum possibility".
The issue of early elections became a topic of discussion after questions raised by opposition MPs in the Assembly last Thursday. They called on the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Hristijan Mickoski, to step down, stressing that he has "broken all his promises".
Meanwhile, Mickoski, from the Assembly, said: "If you want us to go to elections, it must be confirmed that together with the local elections we go to early parliamentary elections." If you want, we can agree on the job right now. But, you will be stuck in the depths, where they send you".
Sefer Tahiri, professor at the Faculty of Languages, Cultures and Communication at the University of Southeast Europe, considers that after the statement of the head of the Government, the elections are inevitable.
"In parliamentary democracies, it is a rule that the opposition demands elections. But, this time, it was the government, namely Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, regardless of whether he did it with or without consultation with the government coalition partners. After the acceptance of the concept of early elections by the Macedonian opposition and the Albanian opposition (Democratic Union for Integration and Alliance for Albanians - the wing of Zijadin Sela), the elections are inevitable. I think they will be kept. This is what every normal democratic logic of civilized states says", says Tahiri for Radio Free Europe.
But Petar Arsovski, an expert on political issues in North Macedonia, thinks otherwise. He believes that the likelihood of double, early parliamentary elections, along with local ones, is minimal, since there are no major changes in the polls.
"I think that for now all this remains a political folklore, but I do not exclude the possibility, if there is a more serious shock in the political scene, for example, the solution of the issue of negotiations with the EU with the inclusion of Bulgarians in the Constitution, and others, so that this is reaffirmed through early parliamentary elections. But, for now, there is no warning for this", says Arsovski for Radio Free Europe.
According to Tahir, the first calculation was by the government, specifically VMRO DPMNE, that the Macedonian opposition (LSDM) would not accept the elections due to its weak position.
“Deklarimi befasues i liderit të opozitës maqedonase, Venko Filipçe, e ka vënë në një pozicion të palakmueshëm pushtetin, sepse kemi pasur dy deklarata që nuk i përshtaten konceptit të kryeministrit. Njëra është deklarata e zëdhënëses së Qeverisë, Marija Miteva, dhe tjetra e liderit të Lëvizjes Demokratike (pjesë e koalicionit VLEN në Qeveri), Izet Mexhiti, të cilët nuk pajtohen me zgjedhjet e parakohshme", thotë Tahiri.
Ai shton se nëse pushteti tenton t’u shmanget zgjedhjeve të parakohshme parlamentare, përkatësisht shpërbërjes së Parlamentit, atëherë siç thotë “do të manifestojë frikë dhe pasiguri për arritjen ose përsëritjen e rezultatit të zgjedhjeve të kaluara".
Kreu i socialdemokratëve, Venko Filipçe, u shpreh i gatshëm për zgjedhje të parakohshme, pavarësisht se në zgjedhjet e fundit parlamentare të 8 majit, partia e tij pësoi disfatë të thellë duke arritur të marrë vetëm 18 mandate të deputetëve, kundrejt 58 sa fitoi VMRO-ja. Filipçe argumenton se kërkesa e Mickoskit për zgjedhje të reja vetëm pesë muaj pas zgjedhjeve të fundit, dëshmon se qeverisja nuk po funksionon si duhet.
“Matjet tona tregojnë se 65% e qytetarëve nuk janë të kënaqur me punën e Qeverisë. Kjo nënkupton se dy nga tre qytetarë nuk janë të kënaqur nga politikat ekonomike, nga rënia e standardit jetësor po edhe nga ajo që Shqipëria na parakaloi në rrugën e euro-integrimeve”, tha të hënën Filipçe.
Për zgjedhje të parakohshme parlamentare është shprehur edhe partia shqiptare Bashkimi Demokratik për Integrim (BDI) në opozitë, që drejton koalicionin Fronti Evropian. Kreu i BDI-së, Ali Ahmeti, në një intervistë për Radion Evropa e Lirë i bëri thirrje kryeministrit Mickoski që ta mbajë fjalën për organizimin e zgjedhjeve të tilla.
Fronti Evropian i fitoi 18 ulëse, katër më shumë se koalicioni VLEN. Por, nuk arriti të bëhet pjesë e Qeverisë.
Nga koalicioni shqiptar VLEN, pjesë e Qeverisë, thanë se Maqedonia e Veriut kurrë nuk ka pasur qeveri më stabile.
Zëvendëskryeministri Izet Mexhiti tha se deklarata e Mickoskit është nxjerrë jashtë kontekstit.
“Është nxjerrë nga konteksti. Kur të kesh shumicë prej 80 deputetëve nuk ka nevojë për të menduar për zgjedhje të parakohshme, sepse ky është vetëm shpenzim për shtetin dhe humbje kohe”, u shpreh Mexhiti.
Arsovski thekson se sipas shifrave aktuale, përbërja e re e Kuvendit nuk do të dallojë shumë nga kjo përbërje që kemi tani. Madje, siç thotë ai, “pushtetit mund t’i sjellë edhe ndonjë deputet më shumë”.
“Në thelb, nuk di se çfarë do të ndryshonin zgjedhjet e parakohshme?! Duhet të keni arsye përse po i organizoni ato. Prandaj, zgjedhjet e parakohshme parlamentare nuk i sjellin ndonjë ndryshim të madh as pushtetit e as opozitës", vlerëson Arsovski.
Por, profesori Tahiri mendon se zgjedhjet, para së gjithash, do t’i shkonin për shtati opozitës, edhe pse siç thotë “u iniciuan dhe, dhe në një mënyrë, u provokuan nga pushteti".
"What is known is that maybe the next parliament, after these elections, will be more laraman. There will be a distribution of political power in the sense of gaining the number of deputies from the parliamentary parties", Tahiri emphasizes.
Currently, the parliamentary majority counts 78 deputies out of a total of 120 in the Assembly. The current government consists of VMRO DPMNE, the coalition of Albanian parties VLEN and the party ZNAM./ REL
