Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski celebrated Goce Delchev Day with a drone display in Skopje, projecting images of Goce Delchev, nationalistic slogans, and the Macedonian flag into the sky. Mickoski also reiterated his view on EU integration, describing it as a marathon while warning of potential unrest.
In other domestic news, a report alleges that the 'Asnom' Cultural Center in Gostivar discriminated against ethnic Macedonians in its hiring, with a significant disparity in ethnic representation among its employees. Separately, an investigation is underway in Veles regarding an individual accused of misleading people by offering unproven 'Cuban vaccines' against cancer.
Public safety concerns arose with the discovery of a 62-year-old man found dead with signs of violence in Skopje's Hrom neighborhood. In Tetovo, two 11-year-old children were reportedly physically and verbally assaulted by older minors in what a parent suggested was a new inter-ethnic incident. Additionally, the Pension and Invalid Insurance Fund is facing scrutiny for reportedly holding millions of citizens' personal data without antivirus protection. Opposition leader Venko Filipçe, President of the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia, stated that former Prime Minister Zoran Zaev has no interest in politics, dismissing accusations made by VMRO-DPMNE.
