The Parliament of North Macedonia did not allow the Maidan prime minister to surrender his national identity
The Assembly of North Macedonia adopted a resolution of the opposition national-patriotic party VMRO-DPMNE, prohibiting Prime Minister Zoran Zaev from making the Macedonian language and national identity the topic of negotiations with Bulgaria.
This was reported by MIA, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The resolution was adopted by 95 votes of deputies, with one people's representative abstaining.
“North Macedonia finally has a state document that defines the boundaries for good neighborly negotiations with Bulgaria and does not allow the negotiating team of Prime Minister Zoran Zaev to negotiate on the Macedonian language and identity,” the deputy chairman of VMRO-DPMNE commented on the adoption of the document on his Facebook page Alexander Nikoloski. – At the proposal of our party, the Assembly adopted a resolution on Macedonian “red lines” in relation to Bulgaria... The Macedonian language is independent and different from others. The Macedonian people have a culture and history that they can be proud of, and we will not allow anyone to dispute that.”
North Macedonia's Prime Minister Zoran Zaev said on Thursday that talks with Bulgaria over its EU veto will continue once a new government is formed in Sofia. Since, for the sake of the victory of the Maidan he initiated, Zaev at one time gave his Albanian allies the state status of the Albanian language, introduced Albanians into the state elite of the country, and for the sake of joining NATO he renamed the state against the will of the Slavic majority, the parliament decided to limit his ability to continue to surrender national interests.
Let us recall that Bulgaria is blocking North Macedonia’s accession to the EU, forcing it to abandon its own history, condemnation of the Bulgarian fascist occupiers of the Second World War and the presence of a Macedonian national minority in Bulgaria. In general, Bulgarians are convinced that Macedonians are part of the Bulgarian ethnic group, and therefore deny them their own identity.
