Macedonian Content Farmers Podcast, Episode 172: A shellacking

Political spring is in the air. Macedonian went to the polls last Wednesday, and in a landslide voted to throw the bums out. Actually, it's one bum for starters, Stevo Pendarovski, who was yugely beaten in the first round of the presidential elections. But this outcome, with a 2:1 ratio of victory for VMRO candidate Gordana Siljanovska - Davkova, announces a similar outcome in the all-important general elections that will take place on May 8th. This prompted a leadership struggle in SDSM, much anxiety in DUI - who are the primary target of VMRO, and even a rare investigation into corrupt SDSM officials. Jason and Cvetin talk about the expectations from the coming elections, who is talking to whom about forming a post-election coalition and if this is the end of the road for Ali Ahmeti. Tune in and get the latest before this crucial election.
