Toshkovski: The head of “The Left” youth wing was detained after calling 14-year-olds “murderers,” not because of the Palestinian flag

Interior Minister Panche Toshkovski said today that the recent detention of Andrej Kuculovski, head of the youth wing of the party “The Left,” was not related to the display of the Palestinian flag during the World School Handball Championship match between Macedonia and Israel, but to chants of “murderers, murderers.”

During the interpellation held against him in Parliament, he clarified that Kuculovski was directing those chants at children aged 14 and 16.

“I did not want to make this kind of information public, but this is the fact. Now, what should the police have done, fixed his hair?” Toshkovski told “The Left” MP Jovana Mojsoska.

At the end of April, the Interior Ministry published a statement saying that the leader of “The Left” youth wing had displayed a Palestinian flag at the match and that, in accordance with the law, the aim had been to prevent violence and inappropriate behavior./Telegrafi/
