PM Mickoski: I Was the Only One Clapping for Vance | CPAC

Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski discusses Vice President J.D. Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference and explains why he publicly supported Vance's message when many European leaders criticized it.

Speaking at CPAC, Mickoski reflects on free speech, national sovereignty, NATO, and the challenges facing Europe. He argues that Western nations must be willing to address difficult political and cultural issues openly rather than rely on what he describes as double standards. Drawing from North Macedonia's experience pursuing NATO and European Union membership, Mickoski shares his perspective on democracy, constitutional reforms, and the future of transatlantic relations.

The conversation also explores Vance's remarks on freedom of speech, shared Western values, and the relationship between the United States and Europe at a time of significant geopolitical change.

CPAC hosts incredible guests and speakers including J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, and many more leading voices in conservative media and politics.
