I am reading yesterday's announcement from VMRO-DPMNE about the visit of the Mickoski-Nikolovski tandem to Budapest and I do not know whether to laugh or to make her laugh. As it was announced, the two set out for Hungary and Slovenia to "lobby" for the country's European integration in the EU. What does advocacy for one's own homeland look like, according to the couple leaders of the opposition?

Mickoski and Nikolovski in Budapest, talking "about the current challenges of the country on the road to the EU", actually competed to say something worse about Macedonia: they reported that "the citizens of Macedonia have been waiting too long for noticeable progress on the road to the EU, and everything in addition to the recorded lack of reforms, poor standards and lack of justice "," the catastrophe that is happening in the economy "," extremely high level of corruption that goes unpunished ", so" abuses committed by the government in many areas were highlighted ", That" all constructive proposals of VMRO DPMNE related to the census were rejected and there is no such case in Europe where a government without consensus with the opposition pushes a census which is a clear indication that the government has no honest intentions. "

At that, their friends from the Fidesz party pledged to faithfully transfer all their anti-Macedonian owls to Brussels, in order to accelerate the process of Macedonia's European integration in the next 50 years, and they also undertook to convey to Orban that they must to intensify the media anti-government propaganda that they finance in Macedonia, for Mickoski to come to power in the country as soon as possible.

Then everyone raised their glasses of sparkling wine to toast the successful performance of this "pre-group" in the eyes of the main gig of the concert…

Because, there is one interesting detail from this trace-comic visit that, so far, I see, no one is commenting on. Namely, the official photo from the meeting shows our two opposition dignitaries and their two hosts smiling, standing at a distance, but in the right corner you can see another pair of shoes and half of the head of a person with a face mask, holding a tray . To me, this unidentified, masked face looks like Gruevski. Well, he is a little taller and firmer than what we remember about Grujo, but we haven't seen him in a long time, maybe the man has grown taller and older in the meantime ?!

Anyway, this is the right time for that consultation! Many opposition defeats have accumulated, Mickoski can not personally and politically afford to make progress in the Macedonian Euro-integration agenda after the elections in Bulgaria. It is clear to him that this year will be better economically than last year - it can hardly be worse! - that the epidemic, with all its unpredictability, seems to be slowly subsiding, that the new administration in Washington will not waste time supporting Macedonia, so if, for them, Macedonia's unwanted progress with Europe happens, then the next local elections will "pluck the watermelon" and will "shake" them like all previous general elections in the country in the past 3-4 years…

Through real defeats, he would be unbearable even for the party-political virtual reality in which this leadership of VMRO-DPMNE lives. There is no suitcase that will not be packed.

Well, something of the patriotic hysteria will be saved over new confrontations over the boycott of the census, but they rightly fear that even that long-delayed statistical operation will receive support for the EU and US conduct, which will put them, for the hundredth time. , on the losing side of the political process in Macedonia, no matter what happens with the census. That sequence of circumstances must be disrupted!

This requires support in both Budapest and Ljubljana. "Do not leave us alone!", Is the working title of this "international activity" of the duo Mickoski-Nikolovski.

I do not know the "waiter" from the photo who will advise them, but 2021 may prove to be the last chance for some restoration of his failed regime. Now or never!
