The leader of VMRO-DPMNE Hristijan Mickoski said in a Facebook post that the fact that Aleksandar Yordanov is a Member of the European Parliament did not give him the right to disrespect Macedonia.
“Is there a greater act of barbarism than punishing an entire country and an entire nation because of your historical frustrations towards Macedonia?”, asked the opposition leader.
“Is it civilized to submit a whole list of requests that lead to voluntary self-abolition to the Macedonian people and state?
Is it civilized that an MEP like you has insults towards the neighboring country with a vocabulary that is unworthy and filled with pathological and compulsive lying?
Being a member of the European Parliament does not make you a greater European than us Macedonians who have always aspired and were part of the common pro-Western idea, but increases your responsibility to adhere to the civilized behavior that is lacking in your actions,” reads Mickoski’s post.
