VMRO-DPMNE held a grand rally in Strumica today, the stronghold of SDSM leader Zoran Zaev, where opposition leader Hristijan Mickoski said that the outcome of the presidential elections will determine the fate of Macedonia.

On one hand we have justice, we have a just, honorable fight against Zaevism, led by Gordana Siljanovska – Davkova, and on the other hand we have the candidate of the despot Zaev, Stevo Pendarovski, who was chosen for this role in that expensive hotel in Skopje. The choice is clear, the greatest coalition of the people collected so far will win, and professor Siljanovska will win, Mickoski said.

Mickoski reminded the people of Strumica on the many crimes and evidence of corruption that follow Zaev, who was the Mayor of Strumica for over a decade, and was twice charged, with fullproof evidence, of requesting bribes, but received a presidential pardon and later a scandalous “not guilty” verdict from a court controlled by his Government.

They promised the rule of law, but we all heard him ask for money to sell the plot of land near “Mirco’s pigsty”, Mickoski said, mentioning the memorable quote from a leaked video recording of Zaev in which he is asking a Strumica businessman for a bribe. “He wants you to forget how he asked for money for his brother Vice, how he swore he won’t alter our national identity and yet did it the first chance he got. All he does is for money”.

Mickoski asked the people of Strumica to help put an end to the Zaev regime, to help restore justice to the country and end this humiliating situation when the top Government official can ask and receive bribes with impunity.
