The government’s pressure on the national media should stop, it is noticeable that some of them report about the “Mafia” affair before the weather forecast, VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski tol Alfa TV, assessing that the media outlets are not free.
However, Mickoski said, the people must not keep silent about injustices and that they must fight for a healthy and democratic society.
