First of all, we are surprised that it took the advisors of the Minister of Economy and the Minister of Economy seven months, that is, from August last year until today, to see that Macedonian citizens and workers are increasingly poor.
The methodology for calculating the Union minimum basket has not changed since 2011 when for the first time SSM began to calculate it to show the real needs of a four-member family household for survival, and not for enabling a normal life, but due to the high inflation with which the government is not coping well and because 100 denars due to inflation of 16.7%, in the worker's pocket are worth 83.3 denars, in the calculation of the trade union minimum basket we separate it separately so that citizens and workers know how much their budget has been eroded and how much more they lack money to provide themselves with basic survival needs.
If government ministers and advisors consider that MKD 50,909 is too much for a family of four to survive, that is, MKD 43,900 is enough for a family of four to survive, that is a really bad government policy - Slobodan Trendafilov told Television 24.
