Skopje, 31 October 2024 (MIA) – While you were bending the knee and selling the state for Singapore and Dubai commissions, we have been working to do all that is necessary to get Macedonia on the right track and to take it to where it belongs – in the EU. Our task is to fix everything you’ve destroyed. After you’ve lambasted the EU plan, we’ll try to bring it back to life, Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski told SDSM leader Venko Filipche answering his question a Thursday’s Q&A session.

Filipche was the first MP to ask question, posing three questions to PM Mickoski. He also revealed documents from “whistle-blowers” over, as he said, the illegal appointment of Bojan Hristovski as head of the National Security Agency (NSA).

The government, he insisted, have been headed in the opposite direction in the past four months, contrary to the promises it made before the election.

“Your entire political success has been based on opposing the Prespa Agreement, calling it national treason. After coming to power, the agreement has become ‘a masterpiece of diplomacy’. From being a resolute opponent, you turned into the most vocal supporter. This top-notch political hypocrisy should be taught in schools on how to manipulate the citizens.” 

“You said you would return the term if you’d ever said North. Now is your chance, in Parliament, to return the term. You and your ministers have started to use the constitutional name. By doing so, you’ve showed your politics has no spine. You redefined political hypocrisy and populism,” Filipche said.

He asked what the government’s plan is for the country’s EU integration process, whether the Bechtel-Enka contract would be revealed and whether the NSA head would be dismissed.

“I thought you’d be more constructive. But you said many lies that have nothing to do with the truth,” responded Mickoski. 

Parliament is holding Thursday a Q&A session, the first one since the new parliament composition was constituted on May 28. According to the rule of procedures, opposition MPs ask the prime minister and ministers questions first.

Q&A sessions are held usually every last Thursday of the month.
