Macedonian SDSM Party Leaders Accused of Deepening Divisions
Former SDSM city organization president Vasco Kičevski criticised the current party leadership, saying it is creating new splits instead of uniting members. He warned that the leadership’s approach drags long‑time members toward forming a new party and could worsen SDSM’s result in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Kičevski called for direct talks by the party president, suggesting that press conferences and public invitations to dialogue would be more constructive than further factionalism.
