Skopje, 1 July 2022 (MIA) – Representatives of the bodies and organs of the member unions of the Federation of Trade Unions (SSM) staged a protest in front of Parliament demanding that the MPs who are members of the Financing and Budgeting Committee support the SSM’s amendment to revise the budget for linear wage increases.

Dimovski said that the strike continues, and that they’re negotiating with five municipalities and twelve public utility companies.

"The strike continues everywhere in the public sector, but I have to reiterate that we’re negotiating with five municipalities and twelve public utility companies, which we will continue throughout next week, and then we will call you into a press conference where we will publicly say ‘No thanks, we don’t want the money anymore, we want the guilty MPs, ministers, mayors, directors of companies and institutions to resign, and we will also name the places where there has been an effect, which is 25 public utility companies and five municipalities at the moment,” he said.

Dimovski said that he believes that the worst punishment of all is being asked to resign because they’re not doing their job right, in response to a question about a possible radicalization of the protests. dk/ba/
