Skopje, 3 May 2022 (MIA) – The point is how to get out of the current situation and make it better for all of us, and I believe that as politicians we need to focus on this, VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski said Tuesday. Therefore, he added, “I don’t understand what has changed in these 100 days since Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski first bragged about scheduling a meeting with me, and now he’s running away from it because of my demand for a leaders’ meeting and setting a date for early parliamentary elections.” “The government is not the solution to this national catastrophe, that’s the problem. I expected at least some responsibility in SDSM, and to generate unity as politicians in times of crisis. Tomorrow we’ll have a session of the Executive Committee, and I’ll propose as first step after May 10 that there be a kind of active blockade of the Macedonian Parliament. It will be an active blockade of everything, with the exception of those laws that mean higher salaries or some support for the citizens,” Mickoski said in an interview with Sitel TV. He pointed out that he would propose to the VMRO-DPMNE parliamentary group that everything else be blocked in Parliament through filibustering, i.e. amendments or active speaking at both committee and parliamentary sessions. “The installations of SDSM and Spasovski, who provoke a debate that everyone is the same, would be the happiest if we leave the Parliament and block it. Then everything would pass and no one would feel that something is wrong in Macedonia, but it is definitely not right, neither in economy nor in health care nor in education,” said Mickoski. He stressed that not everyone is the same, adding that they must be “cautious, wise and patient, and every step taken must be seriously thought out and risks anticipated weeks in advance.” I know, he added, that many are impatient and cannot stand what is happening today and therefore I ask for patience. He called on other political parties that are dissatisfied with what is happening in the country and have unfulfilled promises and unfulfilled expectations, including smaller parties in the government, to back the “social defiance” against the government. “I called for social support, which means both party and non-party support, because we hear from our activities on the ground the citizens’ need for change. The citizens definitely expect from us to make a change for the better,” Mickoski pointed out, adding that the country needs early parliamentary elections to change things for the better.
