The interpellation was not signed by everyone


The motion to raise a question of confidence in the Government was signed by 41 MPs from the VMRO-DPMNE coalition, which entered with 51 MPs in the legislature after the parliamentary election in 2016.

According to the interpellation that VMRO-DPMNE submitted on Sunday, which was published today on the parliamentary website, the two former prime ministers Nikola Gruevski and Emil Dimitriev, former Parliament Speaker Trajko Veljanoski, signed the request for a vote of no confidence in Zoran Zaev’s cabinet, as well as two of six deputies who were deprived of immunity to be held in custody for the events on April 27, 2017 – Zaklina Pesevska (for which the investigation was terminated) and Johan Tarculovski (who was released from detention). The interpellation does not include the signatures of Krsto Mukoski, Saso Vasileski and Ljuben Arnaudovski, who are now in house arrest, but still have a mandate as MPs. Ljupco Dimovski of SPM is missing among the signatories, who was also released from detention, as well as his party counterparts Vladanka Avirovic and Stojan Milanov.
