Levica party political disputes in North Macedonia

Overview

The Levica political party has engaged in multiple disputes with governing coalitions in North Macedonia regarding procedural and historical issues.

In Skopje, the party protested changes to City Council procedures, accusing the DPMNE majority and Mayor Orce Gjorgjievski of undermining democratic debate. Levica argued that grouping council questions into collective answers prevents direct oversight of the administration. To signal their dissent, members used whistling during sessions and demanded written responses to ensure accountability.

In Tetovo, the Levica party withdrew its representative from a municipal commission responsible for naming and renaming streets. The party cited a desire to avoid legitimizing what they termed a “historical betrayal” and the “erasure of the city’s anti-fascist history.” They specifically opposed several proposed names, accusing the DPMNE–VREDI coalition of prioritizing personal interests over historical accuracy, and called for a full investigation into the backgrounds of the proposed individuals.
