Mayor of Kriva Palanka Borjanco Micevski sicced the municipal inspectors and is threatening charges against the villages of Mozdivnjak, whose crime is that they self-organized and repaired a badly damaged road.

The villagers were fed up waiting for the municipal authorities to fix their road, so they purchased construction materials and did it themselves. Instead of praising the local initiative, Mayor Micevski (SDSM) held a press conference to announce charges.

Unauthorized personnel, local citizens, have undertaken steps to repair said potholes, which is contrary to all existing laws. For this they gave themselves the right to block the road with their vehicles, and undertook road work on their own without a permit from the town hall in violation of the laws regulating construction and safety in traffic, said Mayor Micevski.

The move by the former left wing activist and, ironically, community organizer, was met with widespread mockery online. “Is there anybody with any reason left in SDSM?”, was the comment on a widely shared social media post with Micevski’s comments.
