SDSM Fiercely Criticises Finance Minister’s Comments on Petrovska, VMRO-DPMNE Says MP again Played ‘Victim Card’

At Thursday’s Q&A session of Parliament, during a debate on the living standard of citizens and how much milk a family drinks every month, answering a question asked by Slavjanka Petrovska, Finance Minister Gordana Dimitrieska-Kocoska said the SDSM MP, not her, needed almond milk.

“On the basis of what do you talk about mothers that have children and how do you know how much a multiple-member family should consume? I have two sons and know very well how much a four-member family should consume”, she also said.

Petrovska said she wouldn’t respond to the insults. SDSM’s Forum of Women, too, reacted, saying that in an attempt to escape personal responsibility for the serious deterioration of the living standard of citizens, Dimitrieska-Kocoska mocked Petrovska for not having a family and not being a mother.

VMRO-DPMNE, however, responded by stressing the public had been tried for a long time of Petrovska pretending to be a victim in order to divert focus from essential issues.
