Skopje, 20 January 2023 (MIA) – There are honorable structures in SDSM. SDSM MPs are members of the Central Board and their vote is just as valuable as the vote of the party leader, and each one of them expresses their opinion. All SDSM decisions are unanimous, Prime Minister and SDSM leader Dimitar Kovachevski said Friday.

“Not only are the MPs free to decide in accordance with their mandate and political position in the party, I will also say that the parliamentary majority will be bigger than what it is today,” PM Kovachevski said.

He commented on Hristijan Mickoski’s statement from Thursday that paracriminal structures are pressuring government MPs who want elections. Kovachevski says that Mickoski is a man who wants to cover up a lie with another lie.

“It’s the worst when a man tries to cover up a lie with another lie, and this is Mickoski’s third lie. A year ago, he was walking around Parliament claiming that he had the 61 MPs necessary to take the Government down, and the same night we saw him in hospital. Before the New Year, he also said that he has 61 MPs to take the Government down, only to call them semi-criminal now, and I don’t know what that’s about,” Kovachevski said.

There are honorable structures in SDSM, he pointed out.

“SDSM MPs are members of the Central Board and their vote is just as valuable as the vote of the president of the party, and each one of them expresses their opinion. All SDSM decisions are unanimous. The party president, i.e., I, or whoever else acts as president, has never asked for notarized statements, the way that Mickoski did, in order to hold them hostage, just like he is held hostage by Apasiev,” Kovachevski said. dk/nn/
