In a Facebook post, VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski said that the arrest of an opposition party leader a month before the vote in the presidential election is nothing but an act of brutal political pressure and an expression of the enormous fear and panic of the Zaevism who is losing.

The arrest of an opposition party leader a month before the vote in the presidential election is nothing but an act of brutal political pressure and an expression of the enormous fear and panic of the Zaevism who is losing. The fact that there has not been any action against crime against any man of this government yet, and yet we remain a country captured in corruption at the bottom of Europe shows that it is a criminal and barbaric government. Obviously, the campaign of the Zaevism includes arrests, but at the same time it shows that Zaev dramatically loses among the people. There is no longer fear. You cannot arrest as much as we will win. Justice for all is coming, Mickoski wrote on Facebook.
