Former Minister Nikollovski Claims Case Fabricated Following Police Summons
Former Minister of Agriculture and current Member of Parliament Ljupço Nikollovski has responded to his recent summons by police, asserting the case is a fabricated attempt to discredit his work. Nikollovski, formerly the General Secretary of SDSM, stated the situation stemmed from what he described as the government’s “incompetence.”
Police initiated the meeting for an “official discussion,” according to reports. Nikollovski contends the case was deliberately constructed to undermine his agricultural reform initiatives.
He highlighted a period of significant farmer dissatisfaction, citing delayed subsidy payments, reduced purchase prices for agricultural goods, and the cancellation of rural development programs. “This is happening at a time when farmer dissatisfaction is at an unprecedented level,” Nikollovski stated. “When the government cannot address real problems, the propaganda machine is ignited to distract.”
The former minister’s comments suggest a deliberate effort to deflect attention from broader governmental challenges.
He intends to address the situation directly, according to his statement. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the police summons is ongoing.
