Original title: Children tears, caused by local sheriffs: In Shtip, with no reason the vehicles of the members of the opposition are being searched, on Election Day

The text accuses the police in Shtip that allegedly “while in front of them money has been given to voters”, they are searching the cars of the members of the oppositional party.

In the headline of the unsigned text there is a claim that there are child tears, which is supposed to be evident from the blurry image of the kid in the car.

FACT/S

The intention is to instigate anger and rage against the police forces, that supposedly harasses members of the opposition, causing suffer of their families also, in this case a kid. The headline is speculative, unsubstantiated with any evidence even in a form of a statement of the citizens that was stopped and searched by the police, and according to the medium harassed. It is unclear whether the photos are captured during the Election Day which imposes the dilemma “why a member of the opposition would keep silent and would not reveal such a harassment by the police”? Additionally, there is no record of such event in the Official Police diary for the Election Day.
