The true intention of Bulgaria, as well as the submission of the SDSM and DUI authorities towards Bulgaria, was shown in action. Bulgaria’s intention to regulate the Macedonian legislation is seen in the reaction of official Sofia, with the view that the Law on Associations and Foundations is actually against Bulgarian associations. Last week, the Bulgarian MFA expressed concern over the fact that even the government with 67 votes in favor supported and passed the amendments to the law on associations and foundations, and there was not a single vote against, VMRO-DPMNE spokesperson Marija Miteva told a press briefing on Friday.
Miteva pointed out that after such reactions of Sofia, the government of SDSM and DUI with a submissive act through a press conference held by Bujar Osmani and that from Sofia, announced that it will recommend to our Government after the recently adopted amendments to the Law that he be sent to the Venice Commission, in order for her to determine if there really is something controversial in it, as official Sofia claims.
“While this government led by SDSM and DUI obeys, the Bulgarian government is even more determined in defending its positions. And they are not giving up on “Tsar Boris the Third”. The government expects to please Bulgaria at any cost, while causing irreparable damage to the Macedonian people and the Macedonian state. This government led by SDSM and DUI, instead of protecting our interests, continuously sells them out. The government expects and hopes that the Venice Commission will confirm such a position. Now they reiterate and say that the Law will be part of the screening process, which practically means that without Bulgaria’s acceptance of it, Macedonia will again be vetoed by Bulgaria. This means that the government allows and approves the formation of associations in Macedonia that will spread national hatred and intolerance. This club provokes and bears the name of a person who does not have a good role in Macedonian history, who was a collaborator of the Nazis in the Second World War. This is scandalous, no country in the world allows this, it is against all international standards,” Miteva noted.
