These days, on the social networks, there is a current "shootout" via Facebook on the relationship between Latifa Shikovska, Member of Parliament, on the occasion of a Facebook post by the Institute for Policy Research and Analysis - Romalitico and the Avaja movement.
MP Shikovska reacts to the fact that Romalitico and Avaja - "By the very fast in an insidious and tendentious way you want to ruin my reputation as an MP. I wonder? "Is this how Romalitico and Avaja are trying to win the sympathy of the Roma community and justify their own passivity and ignorance?"
And the occasion was noted in the first part of Shikovska's FB post which says: "Dear representatives of Romalitico and Avaja! You are late! The request for submitting an amendment should have been submitted to me much earlier because I would have to submit it to the Parliament by Friday, November 20, 2020 at the latest. "I am sincerely surprised and revolted. I REACT to the post on the social network Facebook, with which you publicly call me and ask me to submit an Amendment to the Budget of the Republic of North Macedonia for 2021."
Shikalovska did not remain "obliged" to this reaction either by Romalitico and Avaja on their part say that: "If someone wanted to discredit your position, Avaja would have come out with a direct position that you have reduced the budget for Roma twice and you are not proposed an amendment to increase it. And when you already call your colleagues illiterate and passive, I ask you if you reacted in time and what is the result. "
The other comments were also divided. Some mentioned that it is still not an obligation for someone else to take money (MP salary of 1000 euros), and others to make analyzes regarding the rebalance of budgets and the like.
Another comment was that: “For formal informal groups, they did not react, it is the same, because after the project they will write an activity: an amendment submitted. Now late or not, the project activity has been completed.
It is a fact that such "fights" are not in favor of either side. The budget for the implementation of the plans of the Roma strategy for 2021 has been reduced by 26%. Whether the reaction is delayed or not, the Roma are the collateralizes. It's time to play card "unity" instead of "disunity"
