“There must be accountability” is the echo rumbling these days, said by domestic politicians, analysts and citizens, but also by representatives of the international community. But do we all mean the same thing when we say “there must be accountability”? asks VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski.

Mickoski reiterates that everyone involved, directly or indirectly, in the “Racket case”, which is part of a wider state-run criminal octopus, must be held accountable.

But it is clear that justice is not to be expected from this criminal octopus. In that context, they are trying to convince us that crime is not a crime, and that injustice was actually justice. But I will remind you that this is not the first time that Zaev has been “misunderstood” or “under attack by dark forces that will destabilize and stall Macedonia”.

1. When the Global scandal broke out, a case worth € 8.5m, and then he was pardoned for it, he said he was the victim of a mounted case.

2. Then we saw the same Zaev in his office in Strumica sitting in a leather armchair asking for a bribe, involving the Mirco svinjarnikot. And when this scandal broke he told us that he was misunderstood, the man was not seeking bribes but building a church. Of course, he was pardoned for this, this time informally, but it essentially escaped justice by the same Ruskoska prosecution that is still handling the Racket case today.

3. The third flagrant case of Zaev’s sticky fingers was when, in conversation with the fake Poroshenko, he embarked on the initiative to bribe Bartholomew with a hundred thousand euros, and was even lucky to have received a discount for this bribe. When this was revealed to the public, Zaev said that the man was a philanthropist and wanted to help the church. One year of shame and conversation with the fake Poroshenko. There is no investigation in this case either.

4. Today, with the “Racket” affair we see government officials trading with justice, taking power from Zaev they (SDSM) tell us “Racket” was am orchestrated case of the opposition to destroy the rule of law, which is purely fiasco of defense, a story for children that even they do not believe in, and many say a comical performance when everyone leaves the sinking ship.

Mickoski adds that the arrogant silence, even after some cheap spin on the young spokesperson or some outgoing Minister order of spreading propaganda, will not distort the clear picture that is disastrous for the government.
