Regarding calls for political accountability from several fellow party members over the election results and suspicions over some hidden deal with VMRO-DPMNE, SDSM leader FIlipche said there was no secret or half-secret deal with the ruling party.
Regarding SDSM’s opposition rhetoric, he stated that it had been the reason for the votes lost by VMRO-DPMNE in the elections.
“There can be no deal with people that ask how much the lives of the children in Kochani cost. There can be no deal with people that say that now is not the time for reforms, but rather of wars”, he noted.
Regarding the Judiciary, Filipche said VMRO-DPMNE was using the topic of higher salaries of judges and prosecutors for manipulation instead of strengthening the judicial system and its independence.
