Political career

2021 local elections

In the run-up for the local elections in North Macedonia scheduled for 17 and 31 October 2021, Danela Arsovska points out her candidacy as an independent candidate for mayor of Skopje. In a very short of time she collect the number of citizens signatures required for official candidacy. Being the independent candidate, she received also a support from the largest opposition party in North Macedonia VMRO - DPMNE and its coalition partners from the Albanian political bloc: Alliance for Albanians and Alternativa, as well from a number of well-known Skopje intellectuals, artists and prominent citizens.

During the campaign, the ruling SDSM party presented documents claiming Bulgarian citizenship to Danela and her husband. Arsovska herself has denied these claims. The premier Zoran Zaev has expected Arovska to withdraw from the local elections. Per Zaev himself her Bulgarian citizenship was a problem: political, ethical, dishonest. At the same time, a reference on the website of the Bulgarian Ministry of Interior has confirmed the authenticity of the data from the ID cards of the couple. On this occasion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria expressed an official protest, insisting hate speech against Bulgaria is a denial of the European values.

Despite the campaign against her, Arsovska was elected a mayor of the city.
