VMRO-DPMNE Accuses Filipche of Corruption in COVID Vaccine Procurement

VMRO-DPMNE alleges that Filipche, under Zaev’s influence, attempted to commit a crime against the citizens with the company Stabri, profiting from COVID vaccine procurement. They claim Filipche, associated with crime and corruption, sought to benefit from a tender that would cost citizens $6 million more.

VMRO-DPMNE states that while other countries paid up to $30 per vaccine, Filipche, then Minister of Health, intended to charge $62 per vaccine through the company Stabri, which was registered for trading southern fruits and formed shortly after SDS came to power.

VMRO-DPMNE questions Filipche’s motives, asking if he intended to share $6 million with Zaev and if Stabri has connections with SDS. They argue that his willingness to charge large commissions at the expense of citizens to please Zaev demonstrates that healthcare was not his priority.

VMRO-DPMNE asserts that Filipche desires power to negotiate tenders in secret, which they will not allow.
