This definitely makes the standard of living of the citizens worse, but it is also worrying that these costs will spill over to the final products we use, primarily food. Such conditions were expected given the situation in Russia and Ukraine, the question is why the government in the past period did not take concrete measures or took wrong measures, Gordana Kocoska Dimitrieska, VMRO-DPMNE Vice President, said in an interview with TV Sitel, regarding the latest increase of 5.5 denars of petrol prices and that of diesel of 10 denars.

Dimitrieska Kocoska stressed that this is worrying because if the government continues to behave like this, there may be dismissals until the conditions stabilize.

The situation will become more dramatic and it is no coincidence that one of the proposals of VMRO-DPMNE was to reduce the excise tax on fuel and oil derivatives by 50%. Every economist could have predicted this and seen that such a situation would occur. In such conditions, the government should have considered how to protect the citizens, said Dimitrieska Kocoska.
