In his speech at the gathering in Bitola, VMRO-DPMNE leader and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski made an effort to exempt from a possible “bomb” regarding the name and prepared the public and the membership of such an act.
SDSM leader Zoran Zaev announced that he owns several recordings which will reportedly show “who was selling the name.”
For the first time ever, concerning the name, Gruevski is talking about politicians who “talk and negotiate, accept, offer, reject“, as well as about “pressure, blackmail, offers or threats“.
Very indicatively, he says that “if someone aligns, agrees on, promises or accepts something, politicians, ministers, Prime Minister or President cannot have the last word” and mentioned for the second time succumbing to”pressure, threats, blackmail or what not“, i.e. that “one, two, five, 15 or 150 politicians, people may err or be wrong in one or another direction, to succumb to pressure, threats, blackmail or what not “.
Interestingly, Prime Minister and leader of VMRO-DPMNE mentions himself, as well as the President, and other ministers and politicians who “talk and negotiate, accept, offer, refuse”, but who will not have the final word, as he says, “if someone aligns, agrees on, promises or accepts something.”
In that context, Gruevski stressed that “all the people, in a referendum, will say whether an idea, proposal or decision is good or not, and that, and only that, can be the final answer of the Republic of Macedonia”.
We probably need to hear the “bomb” regarding name in order to understand who “aligned, agreed, promised or accepted” and why Prime Minister suddenly decided to speak up.
Here is the part of Nikola Gruevski’s speech that refers to the name:
– In the early nineties, when SDSM was in power, and Greek parties organized rallies of millions just to recommend that Macedonia < span id = "E-17197"> was Greek, people in Macedonia did not have a chance to give an appropriate response. Therefore, our position, among other things, said: yes, politicians will talk and negotiate, accept, offer, reject. Something will seem good, something bad. Some things under pressure, blackmail, threats or offer, they can do everything, but if something is aligned, agreed, promised or accepted, politicians, ministers, Prime Minister or President cannot have the final word, but the whole nation, which, through a referendum, will tell whether an idea, proposal or decision is good or not and that, and only that, can be the final answer of the Republic of Macedonia. One, two, five, 15 or 150 politicians, people may err or be wrong in one or another direction, to succumb to pressure, threats, blackmail or what not, but it will not pass the entire Macedonian nation and all citizens of Macedonia. If this were so, in the early 90’s, when SDSM decided instead people, the situation and position on this issue now would have been different.
