Skopje, 21 July 2025 (MIA) - Levica’s parliamentary group said Monday it would submit a proposal for the dismissal of the President of the State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption (SCPC), Tatjana Dimitrovska, in Parliament through its MP Borislav Krmov who is a member of Parliament’s Committee on Election and Appointment Issues.

Levica said it is impermissible for Parliament to remain passive and wait for Dimitrovska to resign, while two investigations are being led against her, and she hasn’t shown up to work in more than two months.

“During the procedure for the election of president of the anti-corruption commission, each candidate must submit proof that criminal procedures are not led against them. This principle must apply during the entirety of the term and represents grounds for Parliament to dismiss SCPC President Tatjana Dimitrovska, as the relevant body that elects and dismisses the composition of the State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption,” Levica said.

The party said it has also sought the resignation of the entire composition of the SCPC since Dimitrovska was named as a suspect in the “Additive” case, noting that the Commission’s integrity has been compromised.

“Additionally, if we consider the series of scandals that have followed the anti-corruption commission and its work from the very start (as in the cases with the head of the National Security Agency and the deputy head of the Intelligence Agency), it is clear that this composition only serves to greenlight the Government’s bad policies,” the party said.

In the press release, Levica also urged the ruling majority to initiate amendments to the Law on Prevention of Corruption and Conflict of Interest, to “finally establish professional criteria and standards” for the work of the SCPC ensuring its members are accountable to the citizens instead of “being partisan followers of the authorities”.
