"There is an escalation of tension. It was provoked by Macedonian politicians, specifically by the Macedonian president, who with his statements wanted to ban Bulgarians from participating in the celebration of the anniversary of Gotse Delchev", said the co-chairman of VMRO

In his words, "hysteria was born in Macedonia, which aimed at provocation". 

With complete unanimity, the National Assembly adopted a declaration against the anti-Bulgarian manifestations in the Republic of Macedonia

Veselinov stated to Bulgaria ON AIR that there will be celebrations in memory of Gotse Delchev throughout the country and Macedonia.

According to him, the problem with our position is that it has been breached.

"We had a consolidated position, which all parties supported back in 2019 with a declaration, but "We continue the change" and the then prime minister unilaterally broke through. This breakthrough was achieved thanks to the neoliberal community, for whom it is the same whether someone is Bulgarian," the co-chairman pointed out of VMRO

According to him, one of the highest debts of the Bulgarian state is not to forget its compatriots.

"With a firm position, we can de-escalate. At the moment, the gentlemen from Skopje claim that they want to enter the EU - I doubt it, because this anti-Bulgarian hysteria is immanent in the political life of our neighboring country. We are victims of the fact that all the media in Macedonia are controlled by a group pushing anti-Bulgarian propaganda. Bulgaria must break this and declare that this is a systematic anti-Bulgarian campaign," commented the guest.

"Macedonia and its politicians have successfully imposed a veto on themselves, because until they solve the problem with Bulgaria, they will not start negotiations. Our retreat was replaced by their own anti-Bulgarian hysteria. Macedonia will not enter the EU for a long time. This is the goal," he said and added that the Bulgarian state should take the initiative and be represented in every European capital.

"We have the potential to convince Europe. We have a clear position that our national interest should not be compromised," the guest was emphatic.

According to him, the last two years in Bulgaria are the result of geopolitical displacement, which does not allow for formations defending the national interest.
