SDSM leader Zoran Zaev, at today’s press conference, announced tapped talks for, as he said, manipulating the electoral process.
– Today we are beginning to scrutinize electoral manipulations made by Gruevski with several of his grunts. You’ll hear how Gruevski steals and fixes elections. We will publish abuse of farmers, pensioners, the administration …You will become witnesses to inhumane pressures with threats that families will end up in a ditch – Zaev said.
The first five conversations, according to Zaev, are between Interior Minister Gordana Jankuloska and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, and they indicate how elections were fixed.
On one of the recordings is heard how Jankulovska talks to Martin Protogjer about identity cards issued to people brought from Mala Prespa. She confirms that there are 40 people in an apartment of 50 square meters.
In another conversation from the released audio recordings is heard how Mile Janakieski talks to Kire Bozhinovski about addresses where they placed 50 people and Bozhinovski confirms that the same people are rotated in several apartments.
On a third audio recording, it is hear how Jankuloska talk with an associate about checking on which address are these people. Jankuloska insists the job to be done faster and to be “clean”. They agree on new checks, as well as the police to carry out the check. The Minister said that in a village where there are five people cannot be more voters.
In discussion with Janakieski, on the following recording published by Zaev, Gruevski talks about how the election in Centar ended. Gruevski tells Janakieski that “the Prespa citizens would have done the job.”
In another conversation from recording released by Zaev at today’s press conference, Jankuloska explains how “the little men” go to vote. She says they are holding hands and voting, adding that they will declare victory in seven o’clock.
