We unite as thin branches gathered in one place and in one bundle that become invincible and unbreakable. The victories are not the change we seek, but are just a chance to create the change, to create the new future, VMRO-DPMNE president Hristijan Mickoski said in his speech after his fellow party members re-elected him party president.

It seems that the “branches” bother someone… Why?! The comment is that Mickoski used the analogy with the thin branches used, as it is stated, by the party of the Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.

The old-new leader of VMRO-DPMNE Hristijan Mickoski, who yesterday was elected as the only candidate for president of the party, in his speech before the congress delegates used the well-known analogy with the thin branches that gain strength when connected in a bundle, which in history was used by the Ancient Romans, but also the party of the Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, commented “Sloboden pecat”.

Are Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, and the philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca fascists for them as well?

Reagan, Community Leaders at the Great Hall 1984:

Let us unite like thin branches tied together, for the world to see the power of unity and freedom.

Trump, Arizona 2016:

What matters is the idea that we will bond as strongly as the branches of a tree.

Seneca, Rome:

The branch is thin, but the bundle of branches is unbreakable
