The citizens are hit hard by the inflation, opposition leader Hristijan Mickoski said as the inflation rate in January reached 6.7 percent.

The Government says that these are just token increases in the prices, but ask the households about their latest bills. Those who paid 8,000 denars a month for electricity now pay 14,000. And the Government blocks our proposals in the Parliament to increase the public sector wages and retirement incomes, Mickoski added.
