LSDM Criticizes Draft Law on Dual Citizenship Proposed by OBRM-PDUKM
The political parties LSDM and OBRM-PDUKM are engaged in a dispute over a draft law intended to prevent government officials from holding dual citizenship. OBRM-PDUKM submitted the initial proposal to be considered by the upcoming parliament. Responding to the proposal, LSDM has advocated for an immediate implementation of the law, suggesting it should apply to all members of the government and individuals holding executive power.
Furthermore, LSDM has submitted amendments to the existing Law on Governance in Parliament. Following the initial draft, Prime Minister Mickoski reportedly withdrew his support, offering justifications citing the need for “expert review” and a check against the Constitution. Sources within LSDM expressed skepticism, questioning which constitutional framework Mickoski intended to utilize – referencing both the Macedonian and Bulgarian constitutions.
LSDM contends that the situation represents a deliberate effort by VMRO-OKG to manufacture a conflict with Bulgaria. The party views the proposed law as a tactic to create an artificial dispute. The debate highlights ongoing tensions surrounding citizenship and constitutional interpretations within the Macedonian political landscape.
The outcome of these discussions will likely shape future legislative efforts.
