12:05 Platform Says Goal Is to Consolidate Opposition Front

Representatives of the 12:05 platform, composed of current and former SDSM officials, stated on Thursday that they had no intention of establishing a new political party or having independent candidate lists in the next parliamentary elections.

The goal, it was explained, is to consolidate the opposition front, bring about changes within the SDSM leadership, and restore the trust of citizens who, according to the platform, are disillusioned with the unfulfilled expectations from the 2016–2017 period.

According to the platform, a pronounced opposition sentiment exists among citizens, but a strong and well-organized political alternative is lacking.
