Interior Minister Panche Toshkovski is facing an interpellation - the third in two years. The initiative was filed by the Levica (The Left) parliamentary group, and the minister didn't hold back: he called it „a political attempt with no substantive arguments“, designed to obstruct the clean-up of crime and corruption.

Toshkovski went further, accusing Levica of becoming „a political ally of SDSM and DUI“, even though it once presented itself as an alternative to them. In his words, the party increasingly seeks „political score-settling and the manufacturing of artificial crises“ instead of concrete solutions. „You don't attack the one who is irrelevant, you attack the one who changes something“, the minister said.

The rhetoric is familiar - every minister under pressure uses the same formula: „they're attacking me because I'm working“. Maybe it's true. Maybe it isn't. But the interpellation exists precisely so that this question is answered in parliament, rather than dismissed as a conspiracy in advance.

A third interpellation in two years is no small number. Does it mean the opposition has no other tool but to attack, or that the minister genuinely has something to answer for? The citizen watching from the side deserves a debate with arguments, not another exchange of labels between government and opposition where the real question - whether the Interior Ministry is doing its job - is lost in the noise.
