We understand the situation Venko Filipche finds himself in, as well as the numerous intra-party issues facing his party, the ruling VMRO-DPMNE said in a press release Friday.
Venko Filipche’s attacks on VMRO-DPMNE regarding the delicate internal situation and divisions within SDSM are merely an attempt to divert attention from these problems and maintain party cohesion.
From VMRO-DPMNE’s perspective, the truth is that there is no better outcome for us than for Venko Filipche to remain president of SDSM. We encourage him not to give up and to continue leading SDSM, reads the ruling party’s press release.
