Writes: Katerina Topalova
VMRO-DPMNE with a program of over 1000 projects, for the reconstruction of Macedonia. The focus is on the economy, entrepreneurship and business support, and the goal is simple “more money for everyone”. They believe that value-based standards will be achieved through reindustrialization and constant economic development. VMRO-DPMNE starts from the fact that people need money, and the state needs work and results.

The realization of capital investments is one of the biggest problems that has been going on for years.
The change of the state’s name as well as the law on bilingualism are part of VMRO-DPMNE’s accusations against the opponents. The program states that if three years ago it seemed impossible to anyone that in just three years the name of the country could be changed, bilingualism to be introduced in the country, where is a need and where there is no need for it, further trade with history and to trade with the highest state positions, unfortunately after three years we see that this could have happened.
