Zoran Zaev’s policies destroyed the Macedonian economy and are leading the country into bankruptcy, VMRO-DPMNE said, recalling that Zoran Zaev yesterday added 131.6 million euros to its debt.

It is a debt of a whopping € 70 for each individual, including newborns. Not only is public debt high, but it has also surpassed the enormous 50%, threatening total bankruptcy of the country. Zoran Zaev is getting richer, the debt is increasing and the citizens are getting poorer. The corrupt rule of Zaev and SDSM continues, and unproductive costs increase. In one month, Zaev’s government spent 1.3 billion denars on temporary employment, and in less than three years the cost of temporary employment increased by a whopping 71%. The state’s debt increases, capital investment is at a record low, and the economy is sinking. In January, we had a historically lowest level of capital investment of 1.67%. The only investments left are Zaev’s family growing wealth, dubious tenders and megalomaniacal capital increase of officials around Zoran Zaev. The only economic shining that Zaev announced was the enormous amounts of new debts. The accelerated borrowing is an indication that Zoran Zaev is interested only in how to embezzle the citizens’ money before leaving power. There is nothing from the pompously announced roads, highways, hospitals, schools, youth projects, ambulances. There is no return of money to the economy, which should be the driver of the economy. Business and economy are showing worse results every day, and proof of that is the profit tax, which has a lower realization than last year’s 17.75%, the party said.

Zaev’s and SDSM’s corrupt behavior will end after April 12, when VMRO-DPMNE will come to power and start the renewal of the economy in the Republic of Macedonia, VMRO-DPMNE added.
