SDSM boycotts Xhaferi
SDSM MPs boycotted the morning coordination meeting called by the President of Parliament, Talat Xhaferi. They said that they are revolted from last night’s session for voting on revoking Trajko Veljanovski’s immunity, which Xhaferi interrupted two minutes after midnight, without having the voting.
Independent MP Pavle Bogoevski today on his Facebook profile accused President of Parliament Talat Xhaferi of abusing the legislative house and protecting the organizer of the April 27 events from going to prison.
“Our vote for Talat Xhaferi on April 27 resulted with an attempt to have us killed and a terrorist act on the Parliament. He didn’t even have a scratch on him. Yesterday, he abused that same Parliament and protected the organizer, making fools out of all of us. Today I read in the media information that the parliamentary sessions have been postponed because part of the MPs are on an official trip. This is another lie that has probably come out of his cabinet”, wrote Bogoevski.
“Talat Xhaferi had interrupted the session because of the behavior of Muhamed Zekiri. I didn’t know that the ‘lion of Forino’ was so sensitive”, wrote MP Pavle Bogoevski on his Facebook status.
According to Bogoevski, Xhaferi could have put up with criminal Nikola Gruevski when he wanted to fight him for the law on languages.
“No, Talat. You interrupted the session because your party is still in coalition with DPMNE’s criminal gang. After all the drama and lies that one member had gotten ill, and yet you sent a vehicle for the other replacement. We didn’t allow you to ruin the work during the commission discussion, that is why you interrupted the session. After the parliamentary elections, we took DUI out of VMRO. Obviously, we didn’t manage to take VMRO out of DUI”, stressed Bogoevski.
Xhaferi makes an excuse: It’s Muhamed Zekiri’s fault!
President of Parliament Talat Xhaferi blamed SDSM MP Muhamed Zekiri for the interruption of yesterday’s session. The President of Parliament had not been annoyed by the behavior of Nikola Micevski from VMRO-DPMNE, who was standing at the platform, but said that he had been provoked by the behavior of Zekiri from his seat. He says that he has not saved Veljanovski, because only his immunity has not been revoked, and that the court can continue with the process.

He categorically rejects all speculations of alleged kidnappers and alleged selling of human organs, adding that they are lies and disinformation.
