Misleading Citizens: Statement from the Student List Regarding the Premature Presentation of the Mayor's Office in Aranđelovac
“In accordance with the valid laws of the Republic of Serbia and the Statute of the municipality, the mayor can only be elected after the constitution of the Municipal Assembly. Any public presentation of an individual as the holder of an office before the legally prescribed procedures are carried out has no legal basis and misleads citizens,” they emphasize in their address to the public and media from the list “Students for Aranđelovac – Youth Prevails.”
TL;DR
- The Municipal Assembly of Aranđelovac has not yet been constituted.
- Goran Orlić has been presented in pro-government media as the mayor.
- Students from the list "Students for Aranđelovac – Youth Prevails" state that the mayor can only be elected after the assembly is constituted.
- They argue that presenting someone as mayor before proper procedures is legally unfounded and misleads citizens.
- The students accuse the ruling structure of arbitrarily interpreting laws to suit their interests.
- They remind the authorities that procedures exist for a reason and bypassing them is a violation of rules.
