Macedonian Content Farmers Podcast, Episode 142 – Live at the foot of Mt. Vodno

With Jason in Skopje, we have a rare in-person episode of the Macedonian Content Farmers podcast. We have the continued collapse of the rule of law in Macedonia, with the very public fight between several groups of SDSM aligned prosecutors. We identify the key Government figure over whom the fight is being waged - Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski faced serious charges from a prosecutor who is either escaping party control or works for a rival SDSM wing, but at the moment he is having the upper hand - while the country loses any pretense at having an independent judiciary in the process. The obligatory Bulgarian segment touches on the coming census in Albania and Bulgarian attempts to increase their minority in Albania, which will obviously reduce the number of those who register as Macedonians. And the economy keeps getting worse as Macedonia faces a very uncertain energy situation during the winter. But Jason tries to find a silver lining in it all. Have a listen.
