Concerns have been raised regarding perceived inconsistencies within the local leadership of the SDSM in Ohrid. Critics have pointed to the apparent disconnect between directives received by the party president, Asen Shajn, from the central office in Skopje, and the local political actions being undertaken. A central point of contention involves the current efforts to gather support for UNESCO designations, urban planning, and city development within Ohrid.
Detractors argue that these actions represent more than just a minor inconsistency; they suggest a disregard for the established intelligence and political consensus among the local Ohrid elite, a sentiment reportedly being echoed in the Ohrid Assembly. The criticism extends to the perceived lack of continuity in the party’s stances. Skeptics question why previous issues were not raised at the time the transport minister for SDSM was allegedly involved in financial plans concerning the Ohrid coast.
Furthermore, questions have been posed regarding the timing of past agreements, specifically when the minister for culture and the party commission for UNESCO were reportedly signing various business interests with unspecified parties. These critiques suggest that the current focus on development and international recognition within Ohrid is not uniformly applied across the party’s history. Opponents maintain that the actions taken by the SDSM are not always consistent with their previous stated positions, creating an appearance of selective focus rather than unified governance.
