VMRO-DPMNE: Lack of drinking water in Gostivar is the result of years of negligence

VMRO-DPMNE claims that Filipche and the government led by her party have received reports from state institutions for years showing that the water in Gostivar was not fit for drinking. According to the party, this data was kept secret and no action was taken to resolve the problem.

The party says the current situation is not a recent development, but the result of decades of negligence by local authorities.

VMRO-DPMNE says Filipche, the Democratic Union for Integration and Taravari’s party should have reacted immediately and treated the issue seriously. However, according to the party, the incompetence of these entities led the government headed by VMRO-DPMNE to provide technical water in record time, while the daily supply of bottled drinking water is continuing.

“The Public Prosecutor’s Office must investigate the silence of Filipche and the SDSM government, which allowed the residents of Gostivar to be poisoned for years without knowing the cause of their illnesses,” said Martin Andonovski of VMRO-DPMNE.
