In the capacity of chairman of VMRO-DPMNE, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski sent a letter to all party members Tuesday, calling on them to mobilize. According to A1 TV, Gruevski says in the letter “it is time for a final battle against politicians that left behind waste and misery and brought apathy, crime, lies, and twisted values. It is time to thwart their attempts for taking Macedonian citizens and Macedonia hostage again.”

Gruevski calls in his letter for aid from his supporters in ending the decades-long strenuous transition. He explains that the global economic crisis has come in the way of this effort but the biggest impediment of all is the transition politicians’ reactivation.

A number of politicians recognize in Gruevski’s letter an announcement of an early election and a similar scenario to that preceding the NATO Summit in Bucharest. The media favoring the opposition believe that the Government is bracing the public for the new failure, which will inevitably happen on 7 December in Brussels when Macedonia is denied a date for starting accession talks.
