During his visit to the Municipality of Gazi Baba, VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski, asked regarding the initiative of DUI and Ahmeti for electing president, emphasized that ‘such statements should be ignored because they come from politicians who are not a factor, and in a short time they will be sent into political retirement, but a large part of them will also be part of processes where they have to prove their innocence because there are well-founded suspicions that they have committed a huge crime in the past years’.
“I heard that statement made by Ali Ahmeti, I will divide the answer into two parts, the first part I think that this statement by Ali Ahmeti in the absence of other ideas and in the absence of useful projects and in conditions where they are caught in a huge DUI crime they are now trying with easy defocus to build a topic and then transfer that topic to the campaign and make it a topic in the campaign, as it was a topic in the campaign that an Albanian prime minister should now be an Albanian president, and I think it should be ignored. because we all know that they are not a factor in the first place to be able to impose such a topic and I don’t think we should be caught again as a public on the hook that comes from a political option that will soon be in the past from today and will be responsible for all that what they were doing. Secondly, even the very audacity to say such a thing and to connect it with blackmail for the outcome of the elections is not a state act for a party that claims to present itself as a state-builder and which has been part of the government for 22 years and eats its bread because of these citizens and this country,” said opposition leader Mickoski.
