Political scientist Džensur Iseni suggests that Venko Filipche’s election as president of SDSM benefits Hristijan Mickoski, potentially securing his power for the next decade.

Iseni argues that SDSM’s choice of Filipche, whom he associates with the party’s decline, fails to provide a compelling alternative to VMRO-DPMNE.

According to Iseni, this decision effectively undermines SDSM’s ability to compete, making Mickoski’s path to victory in the local elections easier.

Iseni shared his analysis on Facebook, criticizing SDSM’s strategy and its impact on the political landscape.
