SDSM MP Mile Taleski alleges serious criminal involvement by the Government and VMRO-DPMNE, citing communication between individuals close to the Prime Minister and drug clans, and questions whether VMRO-DPMNE and the Government led by Hristijan Mickoski have been completely criminalized, due to worrying and alarming facts.

The Prime Minister’s close security detail member, Angel Samarakov, was allegedly caught leaking confidential information to individuals from Grcec, known for organized crime, and Samarakov is a loyal party member of VMRO-DPMNE, whose wife is employed in the Municipality of Veles and was a candidate for councilor in the local elections, which means that he is someone from Mickoski’s closest circle of trust, and this is not an isolated case.

Additionally, the head of the Prime Minister’s security allegedly attacked a police officer on duty during a drug-fighting operation, attempting to prevent a search of a Skopje bar, which was only revealed to the public through media reports, and these incidents involved people close to Mickoski, with attempts by the Ministry of the Interior to cover up the scandals, with the truth emerging only due to media pressure.

Taleski questions whether these incidents are coincidental or part of an organized scheme and asks how the security guard possessed such documents, who provided the confidential information, and who else from the Ministry of the Interior is involved in the scandal, and he claims that the country faces the most serious criminal incidents and street fights in the last decade, only one year after VMRO-DPMNE took power.

Taleski asks whether the Government or the criminal underworld controls the state through Mickoski’s people, and claims that this is not a political attack but an alarm and notes that if the prime minister of a country surrounds himself with people who sabotage the police and pass on secrets to criminals then the question is, who really runs the country?

SDSM demands an immediate and full investigation, as well as political and institutional responsibility, and wants the citizens to know what is happening behind the closed doors of this government and emphasizes that this is not a fight for power, but a fight for what kind of country it will be – legal and safe, or captured by the mafia.
