Vetting, a “Golden Visa” and a Yacht in Paliouri: Mickoski Asked Questions and the Text Contains No Documents — What Is Claim and What Is Fact
In an interview with Alsat M, the prime minister said he has no problem with the vetting the opposition demands and posed a series of questions to the SDSM leader; the claims are not backed by documents.
The opposition, specifically SDSM leader Venko Filipche, is demanding vetting. Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski commented on it in an interview with Alsat M on October 9. He said he has no problem with the demand, that it could be extended to families, and even that a polygraph could be introduced, and claims that under the SDSM–DUI government he and his family were fully vetted.
He then posed a series of questions: why the Criminal Code was amended and Article 353 deleted, how a golden visa in Dubai is acquired, whether vitamin D3 influenced the yacht in Paliouri, and how “teenagers” become owners of shopping centers. He asked Filipche to “answer first.”
What is fact: Mickoski gave the interview, and the opposition demands vetting. What is claim: the allegations about a golden visa, a yacht and ownership of shopping centers — the report contains no documents, does not explain where they come from and neither confirms nor refutes them. There is no response from SDSM or Filipche in that text. Until evidence appears, these are questions and claims, not established facts, and the presumption of innocence applies to everyone involved.
