The story of Ms. Lidija Lazova
“Take a look at the testimony of Ms. Lazova. It’s not just a story, told from a very personal angle, about the torment of the regime of Mr. Nikola Gruevski and the downfall of woman and her family. It’s a story about all those among us who were and still are in love with the gruevism. Who are in love with ruling with a “tough hand” – whose ever! – for whom discipline is more important than freedom, the party is more important than justice, and to whom individual human fates are unimportant compared to the need to remain or come to power”, writes Saso Ordanoski.
“All right, it’s pre-election time. Politics, political parties plus campaigns is equal to lies. Things already seen and proven to the extent of an encyclopaedic definition. The lies have become legitimate. We take them so easily like an ordinary and dull gloomy winter day.
Even the most unlikely, which are pure fiction, and the biggest ones that can be recognized from a plane. It’s appalling just to hear them, let alone believe in them”, writes Zoran Ivanov.
