VMRO‑DPMNE asks Lukarevska to urgently reconvene continuation of Alta Bank oversight hearing
Party MPs say SDSM signalled it will not call a continuation; VMRO‑DPMNE wants witness questioning resumed and conclusions adopted.
VMRO‑DPMNE has urged the chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Finance and Budget, Sanja Lukarevska, to urgently convene a continuation of the oversight hearing into Alta Bank that began yesterday.
Party MP Bojan Stojanoski said the ruling party received notice from SDSM ranks that they would not call a follow‑up session, and demanded that the committee meet “tomorrow” to resume witness questioning and clarify outstanding issues.
Stojanoski described the previous day’s session as a failure and said a written request from one‑third of committee members will be submitted to Lukarevska during the day, asking formally for continuation.
VMRO‑DPMNE presses for conclusions
“After yesterday’s fiasco which they arranged themselves, today they informed us that they have no intention to convene a continuation. We, as the majority parliamentary group, demand urgently and without delay that the continuation of the oversight hearing be convened tomorrow so that we can finally shed light on the truth,” Stojanoski said.
He added that the majority will do everything necessary to finish the oversight hearing and adopt conclusions, arguing that anything short of that would be “running away from the truth.”
Stojanoski also criticised opposition tactics during a session for opposition MPs’ questions, saying repeated requests for breaks were used to prevent the public from receiving answers about Alta Bank and other matters — and that pauses and debates consumed allotted time for those questions.
