The Alliance for Albanians issued a strong condemnation regarding the statements made by the Minister of Local Government, Ivan Stoillkoviq, during a session in the North Macedonia Parliament. According to the ASH, the organization stated that when a public representative engages in verbal confrontations using inflammatory and denigrating language, particularly when directed at a woman, it signifies a profound lack of respect. This lack of respect, they argued, extends beyond mere professional disagreements, undermining the integrity of the institution and the highest legislative body in the country.
The Alliance for Albanians asserted that such conduct and the use of hateful rhetoric cannot occur without accountability. Consequently, the group publicly called upon relevant state bodies, specifically the Ministry of Interior and the Prosecutor’s Office, to initiate prompt action in accordance with established law. The condemnation highlighted that the fact the subject of the verbal attacks was a woman amplified the seriousness of the incident.
The statement emphasized that such treatment toward any woman is unacceptable within the political sphere. The core message conveyed was that the behavior displayed by the minister represented a breach of parliamentary decorum and ethical standards expected of public officials. The group maintained that the legislative proceedings must be upheld by mutual respect, regardless of political differences, and that legal repercussions must follow any breach of conduct within the parliament.
