The leader of the opposition SDSM Zoran Zaev, today in an interview with “Kanal 5” television stated if he wins the election, he will offer citizens transparent budgets and freedom for the media.
It is interesting that at one point concerning the freedom of the media ,the Editor-in-Chief of the Television , Lidija Bogatinova, said to Zaev, “this interview would not have happened if you had not been ordered to do it.” “As I was ordered?” Asked Zaev, but the dialogue ended without resolving the dilemma on whether someone “ordered” the opposition leader to appear on pro-government television, and if so who.
The Opposition leader did not specify whether the elections will remain on April the 24th, saying that the elections will take place when all the conditions are met and all the terms of the Przhino Agreement are implemented and fulfilled.
Regarding the technical alterations made within the ministries SDSM manage he said that the changes were made in order to establish control over the institutions because ministries are there for professionals, not for people from certain political parties.
Zaev also touched on the issue of the freedom of the media and the presence of the ruling party in the media, especially on “Kanal 5”. He noted that television has played around the new law on political advertising, during the four days of the Christmas holidays, the television repeatedly broadcast reports about the prime minister.
Regarding the factory for ID cards and its relation to the suspect, Zoran Zaev noted that Nikola Gruevski may be sitting, though he suspected criminal.
