SDSM accuses Mickoski of receiving $1.56 million for US lobbying

The Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM) has issued allegations regarding the funding of Hristijan Mickoski’s lobbying efforts in the United States. According to party spokesperson Bogdanka Kuzeska, a private ammunition and weapons company is providing $1.56 million annually for these activities, citing FARA filings.

Kuzeska further accused political opponents of orchestrating black campaigns against SDSM President Venko Filipce and managing troll farms through an Israeli firm. The party also raised concerns regarding the management of mining assets, including antimon, Ilovica-Stuka, and Kazan Dol, alleging a plan to sell off national resources for private commission.

Additionally, the SDSM claims that various media outlets and analysts are acting as proxies for foreign interests to undermine the party. The party stated its intention to return power to the citizens and hold those involved in these alleged activities accountable.
