Gruevski: SPO’s goal is to destroy VMRO-DPMNE as a political party

-

SPO’s goal is not to reveal the truth but to destroy VMRO-DPMNE as a political party, said VMRO-DPMNE’s party leader Nikola Gruevski, the prime suspect in SPO’s two new investigations. Gruevski gave that statement in Stip, where together with the party functions was supervising the works on two government projects – the new Clinic and the road between Stip and Miladinovci.

-Today’s press conference by SPO once again has shown that SPO’s goal is neither a legal solution nor uncovering of the truth, but the destruction of VMRO-DPMNE as a political party. As a political opponent of their party, SDSM, or SPO’s party. The effort of destroying VMRO-DPMNE, so SDSM can freely implement the policies that it has given its word for, in front of its partners and the ones that are supporting it –said Gruevski.

Gruevski said that today SPO has missed saying that it is reporting “a bunch of lies”.

-For these two highways, accordingly, a new law was voted for its building. They speak of other laws, but they avoid revealing that these two highways were made by a special law voted by the Parliament of the Republic of Macedonia. VMRO-DPMNE owned almost no property that was either rented or something similar and we had no possibilities of working normally. What we did after 25 years of working was with the support of the party’s membership, with its donations and membership payments, that someone has tried to label it shamelessly as “money laundering.” This was done in order to attack the reputations of our members, that they were misusing the funds rather than providing donations and membership fees which were sued by the party to form a basis for the party’s infrastructure – said Gruevski.

Gruevski issued this statement in the presence of the MPs, the directors of the Clinic and the mayor with an expired mandate, Ilcho Zahariev – all of them members of VMRO-DPMNE.
