Despite the leadership of SDSM that the blames people for the election defeat, people who are known for being close to SDSM argue with the party leadership after the debacle at the first round of election for President.
Editor of the newspaper “Sloboden Pechat”, Branko Geroski, which in open way, before the campaign stood behind SDSM and did not hide his support, dissatisfied with the outcome of the elections, said that when someone loses nine times in a row, something will change and that something must be changed in SDSM.
- And what if now as tomorrow come some other elections, as tomorrow someone called me and said: Listen, now let’s not vote for fresh start, not for change, let’s vote for some other slogan. I would say, wait, slowly, will I have fun, I vote nine times. Now, let’s make it clear, Barcelona lost, something must be changed, not to bring out the team as the one we had so far, there is need for pioneering team. I do not comment personnel changes in SDSM, but something has to be changed, said Geroski in the show on NovaTV.
Besides Geroski, among those, who after the electoral defeat of SDSM in the first presidential round turned against SDSM, were Ordanoski Sasho, Aleksandar Chomovski and Zoran Dimitrovski, and critics over SDSM leadership and Sashe Ivanovski – Politiko, known for being close to top officials from SDSM, who by the media who announced for being informal adviser to Zaev.
