This year as well, men dominate as candidates for mayors (as until now). Whereas in regards to the few women who have decided to lead the struggle with the “males”…, the citizens instead of showing interest for their ideas and projects are dealing with their past, with how much one candidate has been “truthful”, and what kind of hairstyle the other one has, whether the third one had her nails done, whether she has a husband or is single…
On the other hand, the candidates for mayors do not miss the opportunity to praise their wives. It’s as if though the citizens should believe that they will not betray them in the promises, just as they are faithful to their wives.
After the campaign started, the candidate for mayor of Kisela Voda from VMRO-DPMNE, Johan Tarculovski, following several days of “speech abstinence”, decided to to start talking. At the meeting with OSCE/ODIHR representatives, he said that he would not fulfill their wish to have his first coffee as a mayor with them, but that he would enjoy his first coffee with his wife Sonja.
Smart on his behalf. A true man would act in such a manner! However, knowing Sonja, how clumsily she moves, just so that she does not fall off the terrace again, it would be nice if they had their coffee somewhere indoors.
The leader of SDSM, Zoran Zaev, at the meeting in Kicevo predicted that Maksim Dimitrievski would become become a mayor in the first round.
“Believe me, since my wife is also here, Zorica Zaev, and she also wants to be part of this victorious atmosphere. There is one sad news, but not for us, but rather for ‘Gruvskians’. VMRO-DPMNE is divided, already packing their suitcases, and in them are the new era and the new scheming”, said Zaev.
Several days ago in Dojran he “boasted” that it was right there that he had spent the most beautiful days with his first girlfriend. So its normal now that his wife accompanies him across the cities, so that he doesn’t brag again that he also had a girlfriend in Kumanovo…Jealous women, who can understand them. #Holdon Zaev!
The candidate for mayor of Skopje from SDSM, Petre Shilegov, at the market in Butel happened to run into the VMRO-DPMNE candidate for mayor of this municipality, Darko Kostovski. Shilegov in his style, advised his opponent that it would be better if he wins the elections.
“Respect, VMRO, let’s shake hands…The people are convinced that I will win and you know very well, your eyes speak”, said Shilegov to Kostovski.
On the social networks a photomontage with a poster of the Serbian Singer Aca Lukas appeared, as part of the candidate lists of VMRO-DPMNE, with the motto – “Always work, always Macedonia”. In the context of the conversation between Shilegov and Kostovski, who will win and whose “eyes are speaking”, here is chorus line from Lukas: “Turn on the lights to look each other in the eyes, like in an old children’s game, who can do it longer, they say no one can stop destiny, what will they tell us, our eyes will tell us…”
This year as well, the “Ashure” manifestation was traditionally held in the settlement of Kanatlarci near Prilep. At the event that is characterized with a long tradition and history, the current Mayor Marjan Ristevski was also present, who is also a candidate for a new mandate from VMRO-DPMNE in the upcoming local elections.
VMRO-DPMNE candidates first started with advertisements and billboards in Albanian, and now go to Muslim holidays, such as “Ashure”, and it would be nothing strange if they also attended a circumcision during the election campaign. They have made a parody out of their Demo-Cristian party just to get votes.
The current mayor of Stip and candidate from VMRO-DPMNE for a second mandate, Ilcho Zahariev, said that during Gruevski’s ruling several big projects had been built, which are presented in the “report” of 500 pages. He emphasized the several streets and highways that were constructed. VMRO-DPMNE have made the highways even and “precise” like an airport runway. Zahariev promised that he would also build an airport in Stip, all he needs is the trust from the citizens. And what would the airport be intended for, for import and export of migrants, or…!?
