A strong political clash has exploded between the Democratic Union for Integration (DUI) and Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, following the latter’s statements that DUI and SDSM are preparing a “Secret plan” to overthrow the electoral process.
In a reaction, the DUI described Mickosk’s statements as “Pure slander”, “Tentative and Failed to Hide the Crisis of Government’s legitimacy” AND “Dangerous statements that promote ethnic clashes.”
The Albanian Party accused Mickoski of creating “Imaginary enemies” to avoid responsibility for violating the Constitution, discrimination against Albanians and the instrumentalization of state institutions such as the SEC and the Constitutional Court.
DUI stressed that the October elections will serve as a “Referendum” where citizens will punish “The policy of fear and manipulation”adding that neither Albanians nor Macedonians deserve to be guided by “False scenarios”. The party warned that it will not remain indifferent to the violation of the Ohrid Agreement.
Mickoski warns of changes after elections
Mickosk’s statements came during a speech at the Fair of Mayors of VMRO-DPMNE. He accused the SDSM and DUI that, through “Inflation of independent candidates and phantom lists”, are deliberately aiming to overthrow the electoral process and “To blur the clear appearance of their historical defeat.”
He said local elections will not serve as “The door for the entry of DUI into government”. Mickoski added that after the October elections there will be a reorganization of government with “New people” as “Reinforced capacities” and to walk “More bold” on the way of change.
