Levica announced that the Interior Ministry under minister Pance Toshkovski has done nothing for two years in the pre-investigation phase on the crime over supervision of the roads being built by „Bechtel" and „Enka." That's a period in which, according to the party, the prosecution sent several „urgent" notifications to the Ministry - and got no concrete response.

The case is not new. The controversy over „Electra Solutions" - the project's supervisory company - has been running for more than two years. People are still asking how that firm got almost 8 million euros for supervision, with supervisory engineers at 20,000 euros a month and individual negotiators receiving up to 300,000 euros. Figures that by Macedonian standards barely exist for that level of work.

Now Levica adds a new dimension. The ownership of „Electra Solutions" has changed - the new owner is Bojan Saveski, a member of VMRO-DPMNE and a former associate of Koce Trajanovski. In other words, the firm whose participants VMRO-DPMNE demanded be dismissed when in opposition, has now, under their rule, passed into the hands of their own man.

That's the reality Levica describes in one sentence: „VMRO-DPMNE has taken over the business of Bechtel and Enka's historic crime." A heavy phrase, but with a concrete base - the corporate ownership registry is public, checkable in minutes, not months.

The question that isn't political but institutional - why has the Interior Ministry done nothing for two years? It means someone decided to keep the case frozen. It means Toshkovski, as minister, isn't ordering the procedure to be activated. It means VMRO-DPMNE's pre-election promises of „accountability for the previous regime" don't work when accountability threatens the current structure.

An explanation from another angle is possible - that the case is technically complex and that gathering evidence takes time. Possible, but in such cases the Interior Ministry usually communicates on the stage of work. Here there is no such notification. Silence is not neutral - it's a political signal. And it's a test for the prosecution and the courts, not just for the Interior Ministry: can the state prosecute a case in which the current government is involved, or does it only prosecute cases against the previous one? That's the difference between an institutional state and a party state.
