VMRO-DPMNE believes Stevo Pendarovski doesn’t have the credibility to be the President.
On Thursday, Mile Lefkov, MP from the opposition party, asked whether Pendarovski had been forced to enter the race because nobody else from SDSM, not even ex-Interior Minister Spasovski, wanted to lose.
“On 6 December, Pendarovski personally said he wasn’t planning to run for a second term. Media reported that at 2:13 pm. However, at 3:19 pm, his Cabinet denied that, saying that Pendarovski’s comments had been misunderstood,” Lefkov stated, adding that Pendarovski had proven an exceptionally weak President during his term.
In response, the Cabinet of Pendarovski said VMRO-DPMNE was continuing to use street jargon and stock phrases because it lacked essential ideas and an offer for citizens.
When it comes to the ethnic Albanian bloc, Arben Taravari, the presidential candidate endorsed by the ethnic Albanian opposition, said the VLEN coalition had a real chance of defeating DUI in the elections considering Ali Ahmeti’s party had been in power for too long.
