SDSM has continued its criticism of its former high-ranking official Igor Ivanovski, who’s part of the 12:05 initiative, i.e., the so-called SDSM reformers. In that regard, it again pointed out that the “ZNAM 2.0 platform” was a project to further weaken the opposition that will not be successful.
As SDSM added, its former Secretary-General and ex-vice leader was during the 2024 parliamentary elections the head of the team that created the program and prepared the programmatic congress, together with Andrej Petrov (a former Secretary General of SDSM, too).
The 12:05 initiative includes two MPs from the SDSM-led coalition: Slavjanka Petrovska and LDP leader Zajkova.
Regarding Petrovska, SDSM leader Filipche said he was surprised by her decision to become part of the initiative, adding nonetheless that the party wasn’t considering excluding her from membership. As he explained, he personally invited part of the people from the platform to get involved in SDSM’s work, but everyone adamantly rejected that offer.
