VMRO-DPMNE President Hristijan Mickoski called on the public to respect the coronavirus restrictions, and in this way help the overworked medical staff. In a video address he reminded the public that Macedonia is, unfortunately, among the worst performers in Europe in handling the pandemic and that “the incompetence of the Government continues to be as dangerous as the virus itself”.

The hospitals are overflowing, the staff are exhausted and the country is being defeated. Healthcare Minister Filipce has lost touch with reality. So please, stay in your homes if you don’t have a pressing need to leave. Be safe, with your loved ones. Wear masks. If the Government is unable to help you, help yourselves, Mickoski said.
