The LSDM has issued a statement criticizing the handling of the contaminated water crisis in Gostivar, asserting that the relevant state bodies have failed to assume responsibility for the incident. The party contends that despite various explanations and attempts to redirect accountability, a clear admission of failure remains absent. A central point of contention raised by the LSDM involves an acknowledgment made by the Minister of Health, Sasho Klekovski.
According to the statement, the Minister admitted that the delay in response was attributed to the institutions not detecting the alarm signal promptly. The LSDM interprets this admission as definitive proof of systemic institutional failure. Furthermore, the party stated that no competent governmental bodies have yet accepted accountability for the events.
Instead, the LSDM alleges that the government is attempting to deflect blame onto other entities rather than offering definitive answers to the public. The statement also drew a comparison to international standards, noting that in a comparable incident within an EU member state, authorities would typically report findings to the prosecutor’s office, thereby initiating formal procedures. The LSDM maintains that the current lack of comprehensive accountability suggests a significant gap in institutional response mechanisms.
The party’s criticism centers on the perceived failure of the established institutions to manage the crisis effectively and to provide transparent answers to the public regarding the contamination.
