The Macedonian opposition figured out how to take revenge for the French proposal

Opposition MPs from VMRO-DPMNE certified declarations before a notary that they will not accept changes to the Constitution, party leader Hristiyan Mitskoski announced today at a press conference in front of parliament, quoted by MIA.

A total of 44 MPs from VMRO-DPMNE and the coalition, as a guarantee to the people, certified declarations before a notary that in good conscience they will not accept a change in the constitution, Mickoski announced.

There is no deviation even a millimeter from this, there is no step back because everything we have is behind us, our dignity, honor and our Macedonia, he said. He emphasized that the daily protests are not his struggle or that of VMRO-DPMNE, but of the people.

With a special sense of pride, I want to thank the people who took to the streets en masse and were a stronghold of defiance for days. Despite all the attacks and pressure, the people came out and did not back down, added the VMRO-DPMNE leader.

Earlier today, with 68 “yes” votes from the 68 deputies present in the plenary hall, the parliament in Skopje approved the conclusions proposed by the ruling SDSM on the negotiation framework with the EU. Immediately before the vote, the deputies from VMRO-DPMNE and Levitsa left the hall.

About today’s events in the parliament, Mickoski said they were “a shame for the state”. According to Mickoski, this betrayal will weigh on the conscience of every MP and member of the government who supported this proposal. “Everything will pass and in a few years they will again have to look people in the eyes on the street. Their focus is on a naked battle for positions (…) but the people and the VMRO-DPMNE coalition is here to remind them of the betrayal and the attack against the state,” he pointed out.

Mickoski said there should be an election. According to him, VMRO-DPMNE guarantees that the inclusion of Bulgarians in the constitution will not happen, and the opposition MPs, who are together in this fight, are a guarantee of that. The future government, led by VMRO-DPMNE, according to Mickoski, will have a difficult task to correct the mistakes of the current government and, as he said, “return what was stolen and make them answer for what they did.”
