The Inspectorate for the Use of Languages is finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
The Assembly managed to secure a majority of the votes to vote on the legal changes with which the inspectorate will enjoy the status of a legal entity and thus all employees, after six months of delay, will receive their salaries.
The majority today took advantage of the absence of the majority of deputies from the ranks of the European Front, and with 72 votes PRO and 3 AGAINST, as well as with 14 votes FOR and 5 AGAINST from non-Macedonian deputies, approved the legal amendments.
As part of the boycott, the only ones who voted against were MPs Mitko Trajculeski, Arbana Pasholli, Sali Murat, Rijad Shaqiri and Halil Snopce. Several MPs from the European Front and the Left did not vote at all.
In addition to the Inspectorate, the members of the Council of the Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Services also passed with a ballot. The proposed members of this council were voted in with 20 votes FOR and 4 AGAINST. The three deputies of the Taravar ASH also voted in favor, since one of the proposed members comes from their ranks, Afrona Verzivolli. Levica and the Front deputies, Talat Xhaferi and Sali Murat, voted against.
The Assembly also voted unanimously to approve the program council of the Macedonian Radio Television. 20 deputies voted in favor, the minimum required, while two deputies from SDSM, three deputies from the Taravar ASH, and deputy Bejxhan Iljas voted in favor.
Out of a total of 120 MPs who make up the Assembly, 40 of them are not Macedonians, but only 39 of them have the right to vote as part of the badenter, since MP Rashella Mizrahi belongs to the Jewish community, a community that is not part of the Constitution. The parliamentary majority currently has only 14 non-Macedonian MPs, while the opposition has 25. According to the regulation, but also according to the Ohrid Agreement, laws that directly affect culture, the use of languages, local self-government, education, personal documents, the use of symbols and many other important topics, must also be voted on by the majority of non-Macedonian MPs, or the so-called badenter majority, which in this case must be at least 20 MPs. /Alsat/
