While we are thinking of opening new jobs, projects providing houses for the young, building plants, roads, new hospitals, faculties, while we are thinking of how to implement projects in the interest of the people, someone else has been thinking about fake documents, destruction, scenarios, set-ups, distorted constructions and appalling moves. This is not politics anymore. Our people haven’t deserved it. Someone is attempting to kidnap the country and to hold the country hostage. Our patience is wearing thin, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski says Wednesday in a written statement in connection to the so called “Factory of Affairs”.

“We thought the opposition had hit rock bottom a few days ago, however now they have definitely penetrated the bottom itself. This must be investigated thoroughly and all perpetrators must be brought to justice. All connections between this case and other major cases have to be investigated. An investigation must be conducted and it has to be revealed how doctored recordings and fake documents produced in the Factory of Affairs have ended up in neighboring countries. Who are those responsible for trading these things?  Not only this has many other qualifications, but these are also typical anti-state actions against the Republic of Macedonia and its citizens. This cannot be justified with awkward statements and interviews with individuals of the opposition that only serve when phony confidence should be demonstrated,” PM Gruevski adds.

This is shameful and pathetic behavior, according to him. “I can see that even the journalists known as the staunchest of supporters of the opposition cannot find a way to justify opposition politicians.”

Gruevski says these actions have two objectives. “Their first objective is to continue the agony and destruction directed by the opposition… The second goal is to have the forthcoming elections postponed.”

We, the PM says, have done everything we were asked to do despite even being criticized for yielding too much, which has resulted in a bunch of conspiracy theories about this.

“Macedonia is held hostage by the madness of a handful of people from the opposition who are engulfed in their own criminal behavior. Being pressured by their own failure, they make actions that are desperate,” reads PM Gruevski’s written statement.
