At a press conference this evening, SDSM leader Zoran Zaev announced that he will begin to publish parts of “the bomb” in the following days.
Zaev today was at the center of public attention after the police action “Puch”, in which SDSM leader is suspected, and, along with the Zoran Verushevski and two more persons, is charged with attempted endangering the constitutional order and undemocratic takeover of power, or suspension of the will of the citizens.
In the hall at the headquarters of SDSM, Zaev was greeted with shouts of “Freedom, freedom” and “Zoki, Zoki”.
– What happened today is a cheeky attempt of the Government to prevent publication of the evidence of what they do, and present evidence of trampling the Constitution and laws by none else then Nikola Gruevski. Threats will not stop us from publishing evidence that Gruevski and those around him with their services followed thousands of people, violating their privacy. Evidence obtained from concerned citizens, not foreign offices, as Gruevski said. It is true that the evidence is from services in Macedonia under Gruevski’s control. There are honest people and patriots who love their country. It is a lie that I blackmailed Gruevski. I clearly told him that we have evidence of his criminal governing. Neither I, nor the opposition, are breaking the law and the Constitution. They are violated by Nikola Gruevski. Our responsibility is to liberate Macedonia of what is currently happening. Because there is a coupling between the Public Prosecution, the Ministry of Interior and the court, we call upon the international community to monitor the process – said Zaev.
He reiterated that “the evidence will be disclosed in accordance with the purposive strategy.”
Zaev said that the Central Committee of the party had a meeting on Tuesday for the publication of the evidence, so Gruevski hurried to stop it.
To the question of the why they were waiting until now, Zaev said that they were planning all steps until now.
Zaev emphasized that if he is placed into custody, some of those behind him, referring to members of the highest leadership of SDSM, will announce “the evidence”.
As the Ministry of Interior informed, the recent investigation showed that the suspects wanted to carry out takeover of power and to extort various services through the use of illegal means of monitoring and spying and threats to senior state officials.
Today Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski addressed the public and said that he won’t accept blackmail, threats and set-ups.
This afternoon, in the center of Skopje, on previous call on the social networks, a larger group of citizens shouting “Booh Zaev” headed to the headquarters of SDSM.
Police didn’t allow them to reach their destination and blocked them at the nearby intersection.
