To be found, by name and surname, in an official document of the European Parliament on "Mapping fake news and misinformation in the Western Balkans" is bad. But to put you in the same sentence with a classic right-wing fool (who, for example, insists that the country is flat) and a man who is a European synonym for a runaway politician-criminal - should be a real disaster for someone who is ambitious. to represent and even be a political and ideological leader of a significant part of the Macedonian electorate.

This is nothing new for us, and I do not believe that anyone in Strasbourg or Brussels is particularly surprised. He, of course, is not crawled by a fly.

Even this infamous European "recognition" has probably proudly hung on the lapel as a final "initiation", a confirmation of belonging to their supporters that, now, without reservation, they should accept him as a legitimate anti-Western fighter for "the truth about Macedonia! "Because they are not sure whether he lies to them occasionally or constantly.

Let us remind you, this "pumpkin medal" was awarded to him (I quote) for: "disinformation campaigns… to incite internal conflicts", for "disturbing the international relations of Northern Macedonia" and for "disturbing or distorting the critical voting processes".

With such qualifications for his leadership portfolio, it is good that he was not "preemptively" called to The Hague!

But there is a sad point: he is trying hard, one day, to deserve it. How?

The hatred that our European "laureate" personally spreads every day and for years is one of the key factors for creating deep divisions in the Macedonian society. From his and from the "mouth" of his inherited, dirty propaganda machinery (the same report, by name and surname, lists the punches of that industry for daily production of lies: the portals "Kurir", "Infomax", "Republika" and TV "Alfa") seeks not only to justify the violence, harassment, crime, slander and compromising of all who do not think like them in the past, but also with threats and calls that the time has come for a similar use of force to be repeated. take power in the country, again through the streets, with foam in the mouth and bloodshot eyes to declare grand betrayals of "national interests".

It does not matter that the story today, in practice, is reduced to a few hundred radicals and a dozen not very capable party officials around the leader. It is important that this feeling of hatred ("incitement to internal conflict") is deeply ingrained in the souls and minds of thousands of younger members and supporters of their party whose "value system" is so poisoned by the constant flood of false news and misinformation. that it is difficult to have any reasoning debate with them.

For example: although two European governments have officially denied the medallion's party's claim of support for the Bulgarian veto in Brussels, the party canta-knocking propaganda system has already widely celebrated the false news of Macedonia blocking its path to the euro. -integration. Do you think that the denial will catch up with them, and that it will mean something to the army of blinded Facebook bots who masturbate on the keyboards of their computers and mobile phones by cursing and swearing at the normal world that is not poisoned by the fountain of this party evil?

So, the problem is not only that the man is officially declared a liar. With such a miserable and, in essence, cowardly strategy, he will certainly do nothing good for the party he leads. But the problem is that with its manipulations and demagoguery it daily pours the "weed of evil" which, even when the disinformer is not in politics, will continue to flourish and erode the democratic system and the trust among the citizens not to understand politics as a struggle. of life and death in which the opponent must be killed in order to gain power.

That hate speech will be his only, dangerous legacy in the political history of Macedonia, after which it will be remembered for the longest time.
