VMRO-DPMNE has accused SDSM of being entangled in scandals involving crime, drugs, and corruption, further alleging a connection between SDSM officials and drug use. The accusations follow the apprehension of Andon Stojkov, former president of SDMM Strumica and an associate of Zoran Zaev and Venko Filipche, who was caught with drugs in Shtip.

VMRO-DPMNE questions the relationship between Filipche and individuals involved in drug use, pointing to their presence at private events and parties. The party draws a parallel to a past incident involving Jon Frchkoski, former director of the SDSM Center for Research and Analysis, when photos surfaced showing him with a white powdery substance.

VMRO-DPMNE asserts that SDSM is synonymous with incompetence, betrayal, and crime, claiming that the “true face” of SDSM and its officials, constantly surrounded by criminals and drug users, has been exposed. According to VMRO-DPMNE, while the public struggles, SDSM party officials allegedly engage in the use of psychoactive substances.
