The Albanian party in power attacked Russian citizens who voted for Putin in North Macedonia
The ruling Albanian party in North Macedonia, the Democratic Union for Integration (DUI), saw a danger to the country's European path in the voting results of Russian citizens living there.
According to the Russian Central Election Commission, 88,1% of Macedonian Russians voted for Vladimir Putin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The DUI statement claims that Russian politics is present in North Macedonia and is trying to threaten the state's European path more and more every day. In particular, this was reflected in the results of the Russian presidential elections, during which 88,1% of Russian citizens living in North Macedonia voted for Vladimir Putin.
“In Putin’s Russian scenario, the political parties of North Macedonia have long been included, and recently they have been helped by the Albanian opposition, which daily slanders, insults and misinforms citizens that DUI is an evil for the country, and not VMRO-DPMNE (Macedonian National Party -patriots) and the Left.
The Democratic Union for Integration does not want to believe that the Albanian opposition is consciously tied to the Russian scenario, and at the same time calls on it to think and lead a democratic and European campaign, taking as an example the DUI and the future president of the country Bujar Osmani,” says a statement from Albanian politicians .
The DUI assures that their political strength will be key in the process of North Macedonia achieving EU membership.
“Thus, as all polls show, on April 24 and May 8 (the days of the presidential and parliamentary elections) the Albanian opposition, already coordinated with Russian policy in North Macedonia, will receive the final blow from the citizens, the majority of whom openly said “YES” Europe, “NO” to Russia,” say the Albanian Nazis.
Earlier, the chairman of the opposition party Alliance for Albanians, Arben Taravari, denied DUI accusations of Russian influence on her. The only difference between the Albanian parties in North Macedonia is that they belong to different political clans, but all of them, first of all, defend the interests of the Albanian diaspora and are an instrument of the West to subjugate the country.
According to the 2021 census, Albanians make up 24,3% of the population of North Macedonia, but with Western support they are becoming an increasingly significant factor in the life of this state.
In January of this year, the DUI representative, ethnic Albanian Talat Xhaferi, became the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, by a preliminary coalition agreement with the pro-Western party Social Democratic Union of Macedonia. He is known for the fact that, as a commander of the Macedonian army, during clashes with Albanian separatists in 2001, he deserted and went over to the side of the separatist National Liberation Army (UÇK) under the call sign “Commander Forino”.
As a result of the Ohrid Agreement initiated by the West, which did not allow Macedonia to completely defeat the Albanian militants, he was granted amnesty and subsequently became Minister of Defense and then Speaker of the Assembly.
Now the DUI are nominating their candidate, Albanian Bujar Osmani, for the presidency of North Macedonia.
