Zoran Zaev cut: he does not accept the offered resignations from Minister Filipce and his deputy Hasani, because he did not locate political and managerial responsibility with them for the tragic fire in the Tetovo hospital. The second largest partner in government, DUI, agreed with that, through statements with similar content to Artan Grubi.

With such non-acceptance of the offered, "for moral reasons", political resignations, the weight of "morality" in this case of our politics moves from the shoulders of Filipce and Hasani, on the back of Zaev. He is aware that he is treading on extremely "thin ice", because the debate on morality is not a debate on the criminal-legal responsibility of the hierarchy in power for this kind of tragedy. Namely, the findings of the Macedonian part of the investigation, although still unofficial (although announced by the Prime Minister himself), is that the fire was caused by a short circuit in the cables of the devices in the mobile hospital, and (unofficially) the conclusions from the German investigative forensics would point to something dramatically different.

Zaev is now putting the general public in Macedonia - and outside the party, fans, from all profiles in government and opposition - to a delicate test: to determine whether it is moral, for "moral reasons", to change a minister due to "force majeure" , ie a tragic accident in the department; or is it moral to stand behind the colleagues in the Government, the closest collaborators in the realization of the most complicated government corona-policies in the past two years, when it has already been concluded that they have no concrete, legal responsibility? Because morality certainly includes the legal consequences of tragedy, but it is much more than that.

Zaev's coming to power in the country four years ago had all sorts of, but also prominent "moral" reasons. His promise, among other things, was that he would restore morale in the country, after he completely "evaporated" through the practices of the rule of Nikola Gruevski and many of his associates who are still one of the strongest "moralizers" at the top of the opposition. At that time, it was obviously immoral, but "mathematically" only possible for the government to take over in a coalition with DUI, Gruevski's immoral former partner in that government as much as he himself.

On the other hand, the result "leveled" recently, due to the political pragma, far from the high moral political standards, which made Zijadin Sela, in coalition with VMRO-DPMNE not only not to ask, but also not to expect an apology from Hristijan Mickoski for that that "his" (Christian) supporters beat him, almost to death, in that bloody coup attempt in Parliament.

This is the moral-political context in which our policy takes place. Politics beats morality in every party. Political poker.

Personally, I think it was okay for Zaev to wait for the results of the investigation. There are days when condolences should be expressed to the families of the victims, and there are days when political "introspection" should be allowed after such a tragic event.

And then, Zaev had to accept the resignations of the first two people from the Ministry of Health - both top experts in their medical professions, with proven capacity in politics - to protect their moral reputation and their moral standard in politics. These decisions are not easy, but they are necessary for the promotion of the political culture in Macedonia.

I have no doubt that Zaev will politically survive this decision of his, because in public he has not been trying for a long time to sell something "in the shop window" that is not in the "shop". It is clear that he sincerely believes that it is honest to stand behind the credibility of these colleagues in the Government.

But this moral "scar" of his political "face" will undoubtedly follow Zaev much longer than the political pragma with which he tries to rule successfully and "facing the future".
