Professor and presidential candidate, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova in an interview with the newspaper Vecer, says her opponents have no problem with the country’s new name, but she has.

The most important thing for me in addition to the support of VMRO-DPMNE is that I have the freedom to model the campaign, to have my own election program and to send messages to the electorate in accordance with my personal and professional belief, and that is law and justice for Macedonia. I am convinced, says the VMRO-DPMNE candidate in the interview, that the public will soon be convinced that I am a person, not someone’s puppet. Let’s start by correcting the damages of this government, so in a few years we come to a situation that now may seem impossible, says Siljanovska Davkova.

When asked if she is a party or non-party candidate, she says she appreciates the support of VMRO-DPMNE, but it is important to have freedom during the election campaign.

Let me remind you that VMRO-DPMNE organized an open and fair competition within the party and that I was not “chosen” a cartel of party officials. The fact that the party was open to a person who comes out of its ranks and is a woman, speaks of considerable progress. The second thing that I want to emphasize is that besides the decision of the Convention, I also have the citizens’ signatures, the support of a large number of smaller parties (some of which represent other ethnic communities), but also the support of colleagues, intellectuals, artists, etc. However, the most important thing for me in addition to the support of VMRO-DPMNE is that I have the freedom to model the campaign, to have my own election program and to send messages to the electorate in accordance with my personal and professional belief, and that is law and justice for Macedonia. I am convinced, says the VMRO-DPMNE candidate in the interview, that the public will soon be convinced that I am a person, not someone’s puppet, says Siljanovska Davkova.

Siljanovska stressed that it is important for her that Macedonia survives and overcomes the hardships and says that it is now time to put the country on its feet and things to go along the path of the democracies and social states, in which the center of politics is man, and not the elites.
