VMRO-DPMNE: Vladimir Taleski is one of the best mayors in Macedonia

“Vladimir Taleski is one of the best mayors in Republic of Macedonia. Taleski has been performing his function honestly and conscientiously from 2005 until now. That is why the people in Bitola have given him their support three times in a row”, say from VMRO-DPMNE.

“Zoran Zaev, the pardoned criminal, knows this very well. He knows that with people like Taleski, the destructive policy of SDSM will never gain the support of the citizens. Therefore, Zaev, who has been pardoned for a crime worth 8 million euros, is ordering political persecution of mayors and officials of VMRO-DPMNE”, says Ivica Koneski from VMRO-DPMNE.

“That is why Katica Janeva is constantly following his orders. She has to be his servant in order to justify the salary of 3,000 euros. That is why SDSM is threatening and pressuring judges, because they know that it’s not about justice based on evidence, but rather about a classical political lynch. Janeva and the judges who have succumbed to the pressure of SDSM must explain to the public how it is possible to impose measures of house arrest for Mayor Taleski, but not for the Mayor of Strumica, who everyone has seen asking for bribes of one euro for himself and one euro for Vice (his brother)”, is said in the statement from VMRO-DPMNE.

Spirovska: The Colorful Revolution will continue to criticize every future government as well!

“Honestly, I don’t expect for there to be any changes today. It is very funny how the government thinks that it can fool us with tiny tensions like with the detention of Taleski, and with Stavrevski’s resignation. It is strange how they are not aware that that is not enough, that we are not fighting for that, but that it’s justice we are fighting for, and not selective justice, and not for sending certain persons in prison in order to save two members of the Family!”, says Simona Sprirovska, citizen activist and a colorful revolutionist, in conversation with CIVIL Media.

Intrusion of the Prosecutors Council in the prosecution: 30 “disobedient” prosecutors will retire

The Council of Public Prosecutors brings a decision not to extend the mandate of prosecutors who are over 64, thus, by the end of the year will dismiss at least 30 prosecutors from the older generation throughout the prosecution offices in the country, reveals “Svedok” (witness) from sources of the Council.

After the Labor Relations Law was amended and with changes that allow employees to continue to work until the age of 67, the same Council brought a decision for allowing the continuation of the mandate of prosecutors that wish to use this legal possibility and to work until they are 67?!

SDSM: Gruevski panickly showing enormous fear from regular elections!

“After all the concrete of the family has started to crack and the criminal abolition has been annulled, Nikola Gruevski is panickly showing enormous fear from having to confront the citizens at regular elections. The Voters Register has not been cleared, there are no reforms in the media, the SPO is under constant obstructions, the political dialogue has been stopped, just because Gruevski is afraid of free elections. Everyone knows that.

Therefore, the media couriers are trying unsuccessfully to hide Gruevski’s fear from free, fair and regular elections with constant lies. Macedonia will not have criminal elections again, says the leader of democratic Macedonia Zoran Zaev. Macedonia will have free, fair, democratic and credible elections. Gruevski cannot escape, as much as he is trying to stall”, stated SDSM.
