SDSM accuses VMRO leadership of political threats amid EU investigation

The Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM) issued a strong statement following a speech by Hristijan Nikoloski in Brvenica. The party accused Nikoloski of acting out of fear due to an ongoing investigation by the European Public Prosecutor's Office, specifically mentioning Laura Kovesi.

SDSM claims that the opposition is waging a war against them rather than against crime, alleging that the VMRO-DPMNE leadership is utilizing foreign influence and media manipulation to maintain power. The party characterized the opposition as an organized criminal group and asserted that accountability is forthcoming.
