On Wednesday, VMRO-DPMNE MP and Executive Committee member Antonijo Milososki said the government led by Dimitar Kovacevski and Ali Ahmeti had been negotiating on a pardon for ex-PM Nikola Gruevski in order for him to influence the divisions within VMRO-DPMNE and potentially help them in order for the constitutional changes to be adopted.
He added that VMRO-DPMNE had documentation. “The Criminal Code changes have a double goal. The first is to pardon officials from the current Government, who have over the past years unfortunately been robbing the country. The second is to influence the processes concerning Gruevski,” Milososki stated.
According to him, SDSM, DUI, and persons from smaller parties who want divisions within the opposition were discussing the changes.
