During an appearance on TV Siteli’s “Dnevnik,” Prime Minister Kreshnik Mitkoski addressed the state’s economic standing, presenting a comparative analysis of the preceding coalition government (SDS-EUI) against the current administration led by VMRO-DPMNE, supported by VLEN and ZNAM. According to the Prime Minister, a direct comparison of economic indicators reveals substantial growth under the current government. He stated that an analysis covering 84 months, spanning from June 2017 through May 2024, indicates that the average wage has risen by 70% monthly compared to the previous administration.
Furthermore, he claimed that old-age pensions have seen a monthly growth rate of 325% when benchmarked against the prior regime. Mitkoski clarified the timeline, noting that the period concludes in May 2024 because the current political structure is split between the ruling coalition and a technical government structure. The statements focused heavily on fiscal performance and labor market improvements.
While discussing the stability required for such economic progress, the Prime Minister implicitly contrasted the current political environment with periods of perceived instability, suggesting that cohesive governance is vital for sustained work force growth. He did not elaborate on any issues related to secessionist tendencies, instead concentrating the discussion solely on comparative salary and pension metrics to argue for the economic merits of the current political alignment.
