After President Gjorge Ivanov completely withdrew the abolition decisions on Monday, SDSM leader Zoran Zaev remains the only pardoned politician in Macedonia.
With President Ivanov's decision, the main request of the opposition and the international factor for ending the political crisis is fulfilled.
After the total annulment of the abolition decisions, the opposition leader Zoran Zaev will be held liable for the cases 'Coup' and 'Bribe.' Additionally, he remains the only pardoned politician in the country, due to Branko Crvenkovski's pardon decision in relation to the 'Global' case of 2008, which has not been withdrawn.
According to this, Zaev remains the only one pardoned for a crime worth EUR 8 million. Even though he announced that he would request an annulment of the abolition for the 'Global' case of 2008, in which he was charged with misuse of official position as Strumica Mayor, he still has not done so.
VMRO-DPMNE came out with a reaction Tuesday, which said that SDSM's Central Board even congratulated Zaev, who is pardoned for an EUR 8 million crime and who will continue to harrass Macedonia for who knows how long, just so he can escape reality and the fact that the people are not willing to accept his destructive and manipulative politics and that they will not agree to Zaev and SDSM ruling the country.
"The Central Board congratulated Zaev for not applying for a request for annulment of the 'Global' abolition, showing in this way that the laws apply for all the citizens except for him. In such a way, SDSM remains the only party with a leader suspected of an EUR 8 million crime", VMRO-DPMNE says.
