Five vehicles were set on fire in Stip this morning, three of them belonging to the family of former SDSM member of Parliament Marinela Tuseva Maricic. Tuseva is the wife of Zaev’s foreign policy adviser Bojan Maricic and she blamed the opposition VMRO-DPMNE party for the incident.

The leopard never changes its spots, Tuseva wrote on her Facebook account.
VMRO-DPMNE responded with a press release.

Hours later SDSM spokesman Kostadin Kostadinov joined in the accusations.

This incident is further evidence of the level of criminalization in our country, brought on by the SDSM party, which is bringing us back to the darkest days of the 1990ies. Criminals rule the streets and the police is just an observer of their actions, because of the proximity of the criminals to the Government officials. SDSM holds the entire police, intelligence apparatus and the judiciary and their slanderous finger pointing at the opposition for this incident is an attempt to cover up their responsibility, VMRO-DPMNE responded. The opposition party encouraged the police to find the perpetrators, but also to go after the racketeers, drug runners and other criminals who are frequently seen in the company of Zoran Zaev and other top SDSM party officials.
