For Pendarovski to earn the privilege of engaging in a duel and debating, first, after losing the elections on May 8, he needs to gain the trust of the delegates from SDSM and become the the leader of SDSM, and SDSM the largest opposition party, VMRO-DPMNE leader HristijanMickoski said and added that for Pendarovski to attain that honor and role, he first needs to cease playing the Balkan macho man, stop insulting a lady with great credibility and authority like Professor GordanaSiljanovska-Davkova, and admit that he did see her and apologize for the insults.
“The outbursts of misogyny and insults coming from Pendarovski only show that he is neither a democrat nor matured for the presidential office. It is unfortunate that a person like him was the president of Macedonia. Changes are just a step away from us. Macedonia is proud again,” said VMRO-DPMNE.
