Macedonian Diaspora Candidates

[Vangelovski]

Guilt by association? He's a member of DPMNE and President of the Melbourne DPMNE Branch. He was elected on the DPMNE platform. He is part of the official party machine. Further, his links with, and support for, Petar are common knowledge.

What associational guilt are you talking about? He wasn't seen randomly hanging out with Gruevski and Petar on a personal basis for there to be some speculation or guilt by association.

Rogi, you haven't addressed the above.

Ne tresi gluposti........

Ne tresam jas gluposti, tuku ti nogu se brzas da si go branis prijatelo a ne sakas da dais nekakov dokaz da vidime zosto mislis kako mislis. Osven da dais nesto, ti mi brboris so prazni zboroi.

.......don't go too far into an invention of yor own and don't even think about putting any words into my mouth/posts again

What words did I put into your mouth/posts? You mean like you've done below with myself:

Yours is about every other issue under the sun...........

Silly generalisation. Be specific.

My posts were about asking for evidence of the allegations.

And what is wrong with asking for evidence to the contrary?

uncluding the Church (?) which bear no relevance to my posts

It bears relevance to Miki because he supports Petar, and yourself, because you've never criticised Petar for his treacherous actions, despite your involvement in the several discussions that have taken place with respect to that particular issue. Is it wrong to ask you what your position is regarding Petar? If this is the wrong thread, then answer it on the link I provided above.

Why are you being so touchy with this whole issue, aside from chiming into this discussion in defence of your mate? Or is that the only reason? Do you think we haven't the right to criticise him when we know that he supports Petar, and we know that he is in the party of Gruevski, the man who almost sold us out (again) in 2008? Do we not have a right to question his motives after he joins such a party?

[Rogi]

SoM,

Ne tresi gluposti. You have no idea what you are on about, your whole thing is about being 'right' even when you've missed the point.

Where did I even imply that anyone needs automatic support? I made it clear that I did not even vote, and I am entitled to.

Read over it again, don't go too far into an invention of yor own and don't even think about putting any words into my mouth/posts again.

My posts were about asking for evidence of the allegations. Yours is about every other issue under the sun, uncluding the Church (?) which bear no relevance to my posts and point that allegations should be supported by evidence and fact.

Mastika, now that he is in the parliament, do you think Miki would oppose his leader on issues such as the name 'dispute' that was created by Greece? People like yourself and Rogi seem to think that he should receive automatic support just because he is from Australia, and that we should disregard the fact that the party he has joined proposed a name other than the official one to gain entry into NATO, and the fact that he supports a 'bishop' who has tried to cripple the Macedonian Orthodox community in Australia. Both of you sound like these amatuerish UMD apologists who defended Meto when Meto wouldn't even defend himself.

Do you support Petar? I know that Rogi has danced around the question a few times:

People need to realise that Miki is no longer a candidate for election, but rather he is now the member for Australia. Therefore, by default, he is also the member for all Macedonians citizens living in Australia.

No he's not, he can only legitimately represent those 750 that registered to vote.

The fact that he is from DPMNE is not a reason to label him as 'Gruevski's puppet', etc. Would it not now make sense to work with him to ensure that the voice of the Australian diaspora is heard and to try and get some funding from overseas to help support Macedonian organisations working in Australia, etc.

Rather than being practical there are a select group of users on the this forum who just seem to boycott anything they are opposed to, rather than working the differences out.

That's a naive understanding of Macedonian politics.

So you are pro-negotiation (in every sense) then.

Rogi, do you think Miki's support for Petar should be a concern?

[Bill77]

Aren't most VMRO types here in Australia?

Not this one

[Vangelovski]

Tom, I suppose guilt by association and insinuated ad hominem is all that's required?

I guess trying to find actual views, actual statements and truth is of lesser importance. I'm just double-checking the site to make sure this is the Macedonian Truth forum.

By the way , happy birthday .

Thanks Julie

He's also part of the Petar crowd.

Bill , how much influence does one individual in any political party have in this country, much less an individual part of a party oceans apart , bate ? I am clue less how the system operated. Was there an option to run as an independent ?

Well it depends what type of person he is. Look at what this one person "Julian Assange" did to the worlds most powerful Country. And he was also the same oceans apart as Miki.
(I am aware Miki is no Julian but Macedonia is no USA aswell)

imho, if he was an independent, he would be much less influential. This way by being a VMRO member, he can really dig with in, and if we can mould him the way he should be, he would do more good than harm for our cause.

Vangelovski, when it comes to politics and the current situation regarding our identity, we can excuse him for being part of the Peter crowd. The two will not mix on this occasion.

That is 2 nails in the coffin . Is this whole diaspora representation in government part of a ploy to cause further divisiveness amongst the diaspora ? By the way , happy birthday .
