SDSM President Venko Filipche has strongly criticized the current government for its perceived failures in addressing the aftermath of tragedies, its lack of accountability, and its harsh treatment of citizens seeking justice and dignity.

Filipche, speaking from Kočani, asserted that the government has not only failed to deliver justice but has also demonstrated significant shortcomings in the healthcare system. He highlighted the plight of individuals struggling with serious medical conditions, suggesting that the government’s response has been inadequate and insensitive.

He condemned the government’s alleged attempts to discredit grieving parents seeking answers and accountability, accusing them of being tools of political parties.

Filipche contrasted SDSM’s approach, stating that his party acted with empathy and responsibility, offering support without seeking political advantage from tragic events.

He also criticized VMRO-DPMNE for what he deemed an insensitive act: organizing a party event with pyrotechnics on the same day that parents were holding a protest.

Filipche reaffirmed SDSM’s commitment to standing with the citizens of Kočani, advocating for truth, responsibility, and appropriate treatment for all those affected by recent events. He pledged to continue the fight for justice and to ensure that the voices of the citizens and parents are heard.
