Everything will be known by Tuesday, then we will have the final epilogue. Many ideas and options are on the table, stated today the president of ZNAM, Maxim Dimitrievski, in connection with the announced government reconstruction. He assessed that ZNAM, although it is a new political entity, makes a significant contribution to the work of the Government through the two departments it manages, as well as through its representatives in the lower echelons of the government.
Answering a journalist’s question about what offers ZNAM has received and whether it would perhaps agree to the replacement of personnel in the ministries it manages, Dimitrievski said that there are many proposals and considerations, both individual and party.
According to him, when discussing politics, all options are on the table. Dimitrievski repeated that we should wait for the final agreement to happen.
– We as government partners – and I hear VLEN as well, as the third partner in the government – have not reached a final agreement yet. I can speak exclusively in the name of ZNAM, its members, supporters and all its personnel – replied the president of ZNAM.
– I KNOW as a new political entity, which actively participates in this government and has harmonized the government program on which it works within the framework of both ministries, but also in the lower echelons of the government, makes a serious contribution to the quality, prosperity and perspective of this government. The fact is that this Government is primarily bringing things back to positive zero, and then moving them forward. We found a very bad situation in the country from all aspects and the fact is that we have to repair it, and then continue – stressed Dimitrievski before the start of the panel “European KNOWLEDGE, European Future, European Macedonia”, Dimitrievski.
At the same time, he added that the results in the two line ministries where the staff of ZNAM work are visible.
– In fact, this was confirmed by Mr. Kosta as a high representative of the European Union, who pointed out at his briefing with you that the results of our ministers are noticeable. However, politics is still a compromise, talks, negotiations. We are faced with the reconstruction of the Government and primarily, all the activities in that part are managed by the Prime Minister and the mandate holder, who has the absolute right to point out, to point out, to make certain combinatorics in the part of the distribution of power between the government partners, and it is up to us whether we will agree with it or not – emphasized Dimitrievski.
ZNAM is always ready, in the interest of greater prosperity of the state and better welfare of the citizens, to support the Government and the government program, while not being guided by a clientelistic approach to install its own personnel in the government.
– But on the other hand, it is always necessary to take part of the responsibility in the government. And I can confirm one thing with certainty – that after this governmental reconstruction, ZNAM will be stronger in terms of personnel and with the potential and partly available for direct implementation of the government in relevant ministries and lower echelons of the government. I reject all speculations that come primarily from portals that are directly briefed and unfortunately, some of them serve as apologists for the opposition, which brought us to such a difficult socio-economic situation in the country, and also the citizens. And I say – let’s wait and see the final epilogue – he said.
Regarding the speculations that ZNAM could be left without a ministry or get another portfolio, Dimitrievski said that “all options are on the table”, but that there is still no final agreement.
– Many offers are on the table, we will count to three, and then we will cut and we will have the final epilogue on Tuesday. As for me, Mr. Minchev and Mr. Filkov and all the people with whom we created ZNAM together, we are primarily comrades, personal friends and united around a common cause, which is the ZNAM Movement for our Macedonia, which was formed by the citizens and for the citizens. Because to us, personal and political interest is much less important in relation to what means civil and general interest for everyone. I would not like to comment on public speculation. There are many media that brief based on the “said-said” principle, and I would not like to descend to that level – he answered.
Dimitrievski pointed out that they are absolutely satisfied with the work of the two ministers from the ranks of ZNAM and of all their representatives in the lower echelons of the government and added that politics implies a political mutual inter-party agreement.
At the end of the day, he pointed out, analyzes are made in the part of everything that has been done and you cannot always be subjective.
– You should also give your opinion about the other departments managed by the other representatives in the government who come from the government partners, and you should also listen to their opinion in relation to you, so that subjectivism does not prevail. However, we are satisfied with the ministers who manage the portfolios at the moment – stressed Dimitrievski.
Regarding the names that will be proposed, Dimitrievski said that he is only a proposer, and the final decision is taken by the highest body of the party – that is the Central Board between the two congresses, and in this case, additionally, the Executive Board of the party. – And we will wait until Tuesday to see what the decisions will be – he added.
When asked if the exchange of the portfolios of Agriculture with Pravda is acceptable, Dimitrievski replied that there are no such proposals on the table yet and that he would not like to speculate, reports MIA.
