Despite strict rules against political aggitation in the public service and against influencing subordinates, a sector manager in the Skopje public water utility company posed with a shirt campainging for the ruling SDSM – DUI coalition candidate Stevo Pendarovski.

Lider.mk published the picture which was taken by Jovo Temelkovski, manager in the company often used to employ partisan activists. Temelkovski posted a picture wearing the same Stevo Pendarovski shirt at the SDSM rally on Sunday. Wearing party paraphernalia in public sector workplace, especially by managers, is seen as influencing the employees and instructing them how to vote.
