Valentin Manasievski, representing VMRO-DPMNE, has publicly criticized the left-wing political faction, specifically citing the party TMNE, alleging that their opposition to the proposed Electoral Code is motivated by financial interests. Manasievski stated that discussions regarding the electoral system have become contentious, noting that a previous consensus reportedly included barring figures such as Dimitar Apasiev and the broader left bloc. According to Manasievski, the current resistance from the leftists is undermining the process, despite the general public support for consolidating the electoral model into a single unit—a position VMRO-DPMNE claims to uphold.
He asserted that the true drivers behind the opposition are monetary, rather than procedural. Manasievski emphasized that the public discourse should focus on the merits of the electoral reform rather than internal political maneuvering. He further contended that VMRO-DPMNE is taking a firm stance by recommending the barring of all parties affiliated with the left under the new Electoral Code framework.
He urged the opposition to demonstrate constructive political engagement rather than engaging in what he characterized as obstructionist tactics. The debate highlights a significant political rift regarding the structure and implementation of the nation’s upcoming electoral laws.
