“Most”: Pre-election pressure has begun

-

Citizens Association “Most” said from February 17 to April 3 they have noticed more and more electoral violations. Lists are being prepared for potential VMRO-DPMNE voters in the administration, which is a breach of the principle of the separation of state and party while addressing state officials. Also, the use of state vehicles for party purposes, and pressure on the employees from the administration to attend events organised by the ruling party.

The press conference organised by “Most” was attended by US Ambassador to Macedonia Jess Baily, European Ambassador Aivo Orav, British Ambassador Charles Garrett and several representatives from the OSCE / ODIHR.

“Most” say they received authorization to observe the field checks of the voter list, but only the regional offices of the SEC, where they were denied full inspection, and branch offices from the SEC would not give out information about the process.
