GDOM in Bitola: VMRO-DPMNE must remain true to their word and go ahead with elections on June 5

-

VMRO-DPMNE has to persist and carry on with their intentions to go the polls, said the people tonight in Bitola who were attending the protest organised by the Civil Movement for Defense of Macedonia, known as GDOM.

From GDOM, they believe that after postponing elections on April 24, it is pointless to postpone the elections on June 5.

They remarked to reporters that it has already been decided that only the VMRO-DPMNE will be participating in the elections, and Sasko Saveski from GDOM said that the party must remain true to their word, and go ahead with them.

According to the protesters, no one prevented the other parties from participating in the elections so therefore, they decided that every night they will be in Bitola’s ‘Sirok Sokak’ to remind politicians that only way to gain the trust of the citizens is remaining true to their word and go ahead with elections.
