Opposition leader Hristijan Mickoski addressed the large crowd of supporters in the Ohrid main square this evening, during the first major rally of the presidential campaign. Mickoski called on them to go out and vote in the presidential elections for Gordana Siljanovska – Davkova, as the first step toward bringing down the Zoran Zaev regime.

There is a lot of anger out there, after what they did to Macedonia. So join us, it is time to take action, Mickoski called on the thousands of VMRO-DPMNE supporters gathered in Ohrid.

Mickoski praised professor Siljanovska as an impeccable and principled scholar with a spotless career, who has been critical of both VMRO and the left when necessary.

Her opponents say she used to criticize us in the past. I agree, that is true. But that is her added worth. Her criticism shows that Gordana has the credibility and integrity which is necessary make her words count, said Mickoski.

The VMRO leader also presented the first woman candidate of a major political party in Macedonia as a tough and determined leader who will protect both justice and national interests.

Gordana will be the counter weight which will balance out the Government. She will fight for European values a a matter of principle, and not just as naked rhetoric, and she will fight to implement the values we all deeply strive for, added Mickoski.
