Prime Minister Kreshnik Mitkoski rejected accusations from the SDSM party, who claimed the government was misleading the public by linking proposed amendments to the Electoral Code with European integration goals. Mitkoski countered these claims by referencing statements made by European Commissioner Marta Kos, whom he stated had explicitly confirmed this connection. When questioned by reporters, Mitkoski stated that the issue warranted a detailed comment due to its importance to both the citizenry and the state.
He emphasized that the public should pay attention to Commissioner Marta Kos rather than focusing on his own statements. “They don’t have to listen to me; I am unimportant in this matter. The public should listen to Commissioner Marta Kos.
She clearly stated that this is part of the reforms vital for European integration,” Mitkoski asserted. He further accused the opposition SDSM of exhibiting double standards concerning the broader European agenda. Mitkoski remarked on the perceived hypocrisy within the opposition ranks, suggesting that their actions were motivated by self-interest.
The Prime Minister suggested that some politicians in the opposition only cared when it would directly benefit their own financial interests. The discourse centered on whether the opposition truly wanted the nation to hear the European perspective or if their stated concerns merely mean something different when it served their political aims. His defense repeatedly pointed to the statements of Marta Kos as definitive proof regarding the necessity of the legal changes for deeper EU alignment.
