The ruling party SDSM has reacted to the statements of the leader of the Macedonian opposition, Hristijan Mickoski, who accuses the government of not knowing how to manage the situation with the economic crisis in the country.

"In the absence of real policies for the citizens, Hristijan Mickoski continues to spread lies, every day he chooses a new lie.

Citizens can be calm, it is about the testing of auxiliary equipment at REK Manastir, which after a short check was turned off.

JSC ESM makes every effort to operate according to all standards, in conditions when electricity production is entirely from domestic capacities, and production from coal and oil in times of energy crisis is inevitable.

Whatever Mitsoski says, he remains the most unsuccessful director of JSC ESM and Gruevski's adviser on energy, when electricity increased by 100 percent, when electricity was bought three times higher than the market price," said SDSM.

From SDSM, they mention that Mickoski, according to them, has never been successful in energy management, unlike the current government, which takes measures.

"Unlike Mickoski, in whose time there was no crisis, but the price of electricity doubled, and he started the business with small hydropower plants.

Institutions led by SDSM in the biggest economic and energy crisis in the world, take a series of measures to protect citizens and the economy.

Domestic electricity production has increased to the maximum.

The state subsidizes electricity for citizens, in fact over 80 percent, while families pay about 20 percent of the price.

Until the SDSM takes concrete measures to face the energy crisis, Mickoski spreads lies and nothing else", says the SDSM.

We remind you that Macedonia has already declared a state of energy crisis, while from September the saving of electricity by state institutions will begin.
