OPPOSITION EMBARRASSED ITSELF BEFORE THE VENETIAN COMMISSION: They Admitted the “Sound Cannon” Was Fabricated, Now They’re… Representatives of the opposition reportedly presented weak arguments to the Venetian Commission regarding recently adopted laws. Their main concern appeared to be that prosecutors would begin enforcing existing laws, a point that surprised the delegation. The opposition did not present concrete legal objections, relying instead on personal attacks and unsubstantiated claims.

• Opposition representatives allegedly admitted that claims about a “sound cannon” were unfounded during a meeting with the Venetian Commission.
• The primary objection raised by the opposition was that prosecutors would start enforcing the law and prosecuting those who break it.
• A participant stated that the opposition’s presentations resembled unsubstantiated accusations rather than legal arguments.
• Criticism was also directed at the Constitutional Court, the law’s proposer, and parts of the judiciary.
• Marinika Tepić reportedly spoke about a lack of democracy, while others presented legal arguments, including concerns about the high-tech crime department’s control.
• The opposition did not provide specific legal arguments against the laws, focusing on personal disqualifications and claims of political bias within the judiciary.
• The overall impression of the opposition’s performance was described as unserious and lacking in concrete legal reasoning.
