SDSM leader Filipche has said the U.S. is a strategic partner of Macedonia, adding that after it exhausted all mechanisms for negotiations, it has launched such an attack for the good of the people in Iran. He expects a de-escalation of the situation.
At the press conference on Sunday, he added that everything being done in terms of Operation Epic Fury was in the same context as the Venezuela intervention, i.e. for the good of the people.
However, the SDSM leader stressed that the U.S. should also know that the Macedonian government had characteristics very similar to those of the authoritarian regimes in Iran and Venezuela. In response, VMRO-DPMNE said SDSM was sunken in its own micro-world in which only it was good and everyone else was bad.
