According to MEP Sven Mikser, de-oligarchization should be viewed as a systemic issue and significant nominations to significant positions should be done transparently.
“As for de-oligarchization, I think this issue should be considered as a systemic issue. This also includes inclusiveness. Important appointments to important positions should be made in a way that is transparent and no one, not even any institution or political party or group, should be allowed to monopolize the process. I think this is a systemic issue,” said Sven Mikser.
He also discussed the 12 suggestions made by the European Commission, emphasizing the need for a well-coordinated implementation process.
“I think we were very clear. The ruling party seems to have a plan, the opposition party also seems to have a plan and maybe more than one. NGOs have ideas on how to work to implement the 12 recommendations. We hope it will be a well-coordinated procedure. I think that all political institutions have their role: the president, the parliament, the speaker of the parliament, but it is important that this process be inclusive. There are some areas, where it is difficult to measure progress, but it can be estimated. One of them is depolarization and this implies that the process should be inclusive,” said the MEP.
