Crvenkovski, once again forgot he is a president. Went out in front of the legislators to convince them not to vote! He sided. He sided with Sekerinska. Gruevski stayed neutral.

Difficult week. On Friday, Aca Lukas had been a guest at the Grand Hotel. This type of party shows up twice in life. Once, if you are invited to a Woody Allen's party where LSD is served, and second if you go to a concert, Ceca or Aca Lukas.

Aca Lukas came, and I didn't go to see him. Both nights I was glued to reports from the Parliament, where its dissolution was discussed. I watched, and watched, only at the end to realize there isn't a better party than the SDSM. Aca Lukas, you can always watch him on DVD, but Radmila, Buckovski, and the sue-everyone Makraduli, you can watch them twice, and never again.

God has certainly gave up on the SDSM. Such group of fools and liars all assembled on the same place, you can't even get on Bingo. Like a drunk soul in a provincial bar, they hate and lie to everyone around them, especially to themselves.

Just think, we have an Opposition who is against early elections!? This isn't possible anywhere. Every opposition on this planet dreams of early elections so they can cut short the mandate of the ruling Government. Only our opposition became afraid of early elections, like a bad student before an exam. And why our SDSM were so much against early elections? Because we would loose precious time, for which, sure, we would solve the problem with Athens, and will open the door to NATO. Less than two months later, is too late.

Well, it is not so. With our current parliament structure, split and happy to stop any law on just about anything, no time is good time, and less than two months is nothing.

The 'name' dispute we have is purely job of the SDSM. They were the godfather to our acronym. SDSM (President, Kiro Gligorov; Prime Minister, Branko Crvenkovski; Parliament Speaker, Stojan Andov all signed the deal, in 1995 and replaced our name with an acronym) This was done without the knowledge of the Macedonian public. The very same team, plus Radmila Sekerinska who at the time was the president for SDSM's youth, are now convincing us we must change the name immediately! The same Godfathers who held us hostage for 13 years with an acronym, who for 13 years were not in a hurry, now are in a hurry? And once again, they would like to be the Godfathers without asking us, the citizens. Not even a “D” for their supposed Democracy.

Very fortunate the Parliament was dissolved, this tied SDSM hands to once again, over night, change the name. This to them is very painful.

The negotiations continue. Nimetz comes this week in Skopje to meed with Macedonian leaders. Now the Athenians don't have the maneuvering space they would have if SDSM was in the Parliament. Athens hoped they could get a very quick deal before the dissolution of Parliament. Athens counted on SDSM vote in Parliament. Now they can't. This explained the hysteria from Bakoyannis, Karamanslis and our SDSM.
Buckovski is expecting the Court verdict from the stolen money tied to parts for the Army's tanks. Radmila is aware she will loose the elections and will loose the Chairman seat at SDSM. Makraduly, a telephone pole, like Sekerinska, only good for spitting and cinism. He, just has limited capacity.
Lastly, why were they spitting at Gruevski? It was not Gruevski who called early elections. It was SDSM's partner DUI that called for early elections. Not a word against DUI, the party who formally requested early elections. Ah, the Hypocrites.

The main craze from the SDSM is that now Gruevski has very good relationship with the US, not just Branko and SDSM. Now the SDSM will have to look and ask for support from their citizens, which have shown on numerous occasions can not stand them.

Branko, being Branko, made a historical gaffe: as a president went out in front of the legislators and asked them not to vote for early elections. He sided. He showed the citizens that he is not their president, rather a politician who sides with the interests of his party, the SDSM.
This is why Sekerinska is absolutely mad that Gruevski did not bother to show up in Parliament, let alone make a speech. There isn't a balance. Crvenkovski, you can't side with parties.

Two thirds of Macedonia's Parliament had the guts to cut their mandates short and vote for early elections. SDSM, once again wanted to hide, not to show up in front of its citizens, to look them in the eyes.

For Sekerinska this is the end. As Jay would say, she is the Steamed rose in the bouquet.
