The opposition SDSM and its leader Venko Filipce criticize daily when it comes to the development of the industry related to data centers. An industry that is the future, an industry that is developing in the world, but Filipche opposes it for reasons known only to him, VMRO-DPMNE MP Mile Lefkov told a press briefing Sunday.
“Let’s take this chance to explain to Filipche and his friend Zoran Zaev, who is still obviously giving him directions. Macedonia already has a data center in Prilep. However, it is not primary, but secondary, which means that in the event of a possible cyber-attack on the system of an individual institution, the data is stored there in the secondary one. Now each institution finds a way to store its data. That is why Macedonia needs a basic, primary, national data system for storing all data from all institutions,” said Lefkov.
The ruling party MP points out that Macedonia as a country has a project in the reform agenda with the EU to build a national data center, and the EU provides finances and financial assistance, and the state has an obligation to build a basic, primary national data center.
“This is a way to protect the data of state institutions from possible cyber attacks, that is, to ensure that the data is secure. This is what SDS opposes, and let us just recall that during their government there was an attack on the HIF system and citizens could not exercise their rights, maternity leave could not be paid, funds for medicines could not be refunded, and the like. Hence, it is evident that SDSM opposes the development of an industry that means protection of personal data of each individual, protection of state data,” MP Lefkov stressed.
