DISINFO: Largest Opposition Party in Macedonia is Boycotting Name Referendum

SUMMARY

Twenty eight political movements and organizations, including the largest opposition party, VMRO-DPMNE, signed a memorandum on cooperation and creating a campaign headquarters for boycotting the referendum.

RESPONSE

While 30 Macedonia political parties, groups and individuals signed such a memorandum, VMRO-DPMNE did not. “The official stance of VMRO-DPMNE regarding the referendum is – we have no position. It is not our job to tell the people if and how they should vote,” Mickoski said during a recent rally. For more details, see the article by Polygraph.
