Mickoski: We'll wait to see how things go in Government, and then we'll discuss inclusion in EU process
Skopje, 19 October 2022 (MIA) - VMRO-DPMNE will wait to see how things will go in the Government, and then make a decision whether to lend a hand to the government for the European integration process, leader of the opposition party Hristijan Mickoski said Wednesday, adding that they don't trust "the interlocutor on the other side" and that the Government is three years late with its intentions.
"I don't see a serious interlocutor on the other side whom I could rely on and whom I could be confident about. That's why I say to wait and see how things will develop in the Government, and only then to see what interlocutors we can cooperate with. This interlocutor turned out to be one that unfortunately we cannot rely on," Mickoski said.
According to him, the Government, as usual, is two or three years late in its intentions and again something is offered for which there is no clear concept.
"Let's wait and see how things will develop there, and only then we will be able to talk about some plans in the future. But what I can conclude in answer to this question is that they are late and instead of that haughty refusal when we shook hands, they should have considered that VMRO-DPMNE is needed, because they cannot survive without VMRO-DPMNE. And you can see that, without the support of VMRO DPMNE they are unsuccessful, and this way they are even more unsuccessful," said Mickoski.
According to him, cooperation with VMRO-DPMNE should have been offered before signing, what he called, "capitulation agreements".
"I called for us to make five teams, sit down, make a strategy and act based on that strategy. You see, one of the teams is already effective, the one that helps in the economy and in energy despite the fact that they arrogantly refused then, I would say irresponsibly and immaturely," said Mickoski, who accused that the Government allowed the violation of the Declaration by the Parliament and "the beginning of assimilation and Bulgarization of the Macedonian people". dk/nn/
