SDSM demands from the Public Prosecutor’s Office (PPO) to launch an investigation into non-transparent financial agreements related to the Hungarian loan and possible connections with Chinese financial institutions.
SDSM spokesperson Bogdanka Kuzeska said that the announcements and information coming from Hungary raise questions about the way international agreements are concluded and the conditions under which countries borrow.
Kuzeska referred to a Bloomberg report, according to which Hungary revealed details of a one billion euro loan that Viktor Orbán’s Government took from Chinese banks in 2024 – the same year that Macedonia agreed to the loan from Hungary in the same amount.
SDSM claims that such financial arrangements have a direct impact on the public debt and citizens, who, according to them, will bear the consequences of the borrowing. The main opposition party says that there were hidden costs and unexplained transfers related to the agreement, which is why they are demanding a thorough investigation.
