#BOYCOTT OF CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES
We, the Macedonians, by birth and citizenship, in all parts of Macedonia, in the homeland and in the world, guided by the majority will of the people expressed in two referendums (mandatory 1991 and consultative 2018), unite against the unconstitutional and unlawful so called “Prespa Agreement.” We invite everyone: associations, trade unions, institutes, scientific and higher education institutions, informal movements, online groupings, political parties, diaspora, as well individuals, professors and other intellectuals, artists, athletes, workers, etc. - with all their credibility and public engagement to unite now, with one single goal: organizing a continuous and massive Resistance to the illegitimate and illegal constitutional changes!
Our joint support of this Proclamation does not and should not imply future endorsement or common political action in any upcoming election. All societal stakeholders who support this Proclamation, regardless of the ideological, political, religious or ethnic affiliation manifest respect for governance of the right and the concern for the future of the state, confirming the historical maturity of the nation, putting the general self-interest for the purpose of accomplishment a higher goal - preserving the sovereignty of the Republic and the right to self-determination of the people.
The main reason for this movement is the arrogant attitude of the government that ignores the clearly expressed will of the citizens against the unconstitutional so-called “Prespa Agreement,” manifested through a massive boycott that resulted in an unsuccessful referendum, of which 2/3 of the voters did not approve it!
Therefore, in this dramatic historical moment for our Republic, trapped by a corrupt political clique that ignores both the popular will and the Constitution, we ask for:
- Urgent and unconditional termination of the process of illegal constitutional changes;
- Unilateral legal annulment of the denounced and already rejected so-called “Prespa Agreement;”
- Strict compliance with domestic and international laws;
- Permanent protection of the name of the state, Macedonia;
- Immediate dissolution of the Assembly and the announcement of EARLY parliamentary elections.
We express our determination that, if the above requirements are not accepted,
Resistance will continue and grow, and all institutional and non-institutional instruments at our disposal will undoubtedly be used. We stress that this civic resistance will be and remain NON-VIOLENT.
