Gruevski on “Facebook”: SDSM have committed electoral fraud with the Tirana platform

-

A government who will implement the Tirana platform, made and formed in another country, can not be pro reforms, but an anti-state government, and SDSM’s behaviour is as if there are no people in the country or they are not important whatsoever, said VMRO-DPMNE leader Nikola Gruevski on Facebook profile.

“In contrast, the streets are full of people protesting and expressing their dissatisfaction that clearly indicates that these policies by SDSM are doomed for failure. It is unacceptable for key issues in the country which are related to its essential characteristics, not to be put to the people concerning decision making which is not based on an electoral program approved by the citizens during the elections. That is electoral fraud. If you follow the logic of SDSM, then you lose all essence of what the elections were about. If one or more parties can make essential decisions without asking the people first, even if the majority of the Macedonian people are sent into the opposition, with the aim to commit to electoral fraud, then democracy is gone. Their first step, is the huge electoral fraud they committed against the people”, said the leader of VMRO-DPMNE.

Gruevski emphasized that for VMRO-DPMNE, the only real and logical way out of the political crisis is snap elections which will act as a referendum for the citizens, to decide the future of the country and he added that they would not be a great expense or a waste of time, because they will be held at the same time as the local elections.
