Skopje, 19 August 2024 (MIA) - SDSM will start winning once it changes its attitude towards its members and firmly reaffirms its social democratic values, SDSM leader Venko Filipche told Fokus in an interview.

“SDSM will win if it focuses on the real issues of the citizens in its political program, which means improving the lives of everyone in every segment. This is what SDSM should be recognizable for. It needs to offer concrete solutions and bring its political rhetoric closer to the citizens,” Filipche said.

According to the opposition leader, SDSM must nurture democracy and freedom as the sole large party that currently has a fully democratic orientation.

“SDSM mustn’t calculate with nationalism and lead policies of manipulation at the expense of progress. There are enough such parties,” Filipche stressed.

Filipche added that SDSM must address the workers and the vulnerable groups.

“This approach to the workers, combined with an efficient model for growth of the economy and support of businesses, will provide results for all. This is also a policy for the protection of the citizens, which I believe will be recognized before the surge of the savage capitalism offered by VMRO-DPMNE,” SDSM leader Filipche told Fokus.
