With the rebalancing of the Budget for 2024, five billion denars are provided for pensions or 2 denars plus for 500 pensioners. From September, all pensioners will receive linearly 300 denars each and it will not be a one-time aid, but a systemic solution with which, including the increase from the additional 000 denars in March next year, each pensioner will receive 2 denars, said the MP from VMRO - DPMNE Bojan Stojanoski.

During the parliamentary discussion, Stojanoski, who referred to the projections in more detail, announced that the new budget for 2025 is already being prepared, which will show the behavior of a completely new political elite whose priority is the citizens and the economy.

- This rebalancing is proof of the cataclysmic behavior of the previous government and the epic stealing from the people. With it, we are just trying to redistribute poorly or unrealized funds, to wait for the end of the year in as normal a state as possible. A new budget for 2025 is being prepared, in which all government priorities will be included, and the focus will be on the people and the economy. We will show the zenith of behavior of the new political elite, for whom the citizens and the development of the economy are in the first place. At the same time, the funds will be intended, first of all, for capital investments, noted Stojanoski.

He reminded that with the rebalancing, 100 million euros are foreseen for the municipalities, one billion denars for payment in the zones, 322 million for the SEC, i.e. for payment to the boards and the media, 644 million for student meals and scholarships, 5,1 billion denars for credit obligations of several victims, 600 million for payment according to court decisions, 1,7 billion for subsidies, 550 million for vouchers for sports,...

- In the Budget, funds for salaries of many institutions were not calculated, nor was the amount for the payment of pensions fully foreseen, emphasizes Stojanoski Sported, which the new Government plans to collect an additional 130 million by the end of the year based on income.

Malisha Stankovic came to speak and pointed out that the Budget and the rebalancing should be separated. He also called on all MPs to vote for the rebalancing.

- We cannot expect miracles from the rebalancing. This is the eighth month in which 71 percent of the Budget has already been spent. We are now just adapting to the situation in order to emerge from the current scenario by the end of the year. In this rebalance, there is not a single item that means wasteful spending, said Stankovic who, as he mentioned, although he knew that the Budget was bad, he did not expect a "hole" of 40 billion denars.

MP Dimitar Kovacevski from SDSM was the first to speak in the general discussion, who said that his party and the coalition will not support the rebalancing.

Earlier, the Minister of Finance Gordana Dimitrieska Kochoska had an exposé.

The MPs are currently on a break, and, as the President of the Assembly Afrim Gashi said, the session will continue after 18.00:XNUMX.
