Hassle and parliamentary question for consumer basket

MP Slavjanka Petrovska and Minister of Finance Gordana Dimitrijeska-Kochoska today conflicted with parliamentary issues in Parliament. The verbal conflict between them began on the subject of the consumer basket and the way it was calculated and after the minister's statement that she did not buy peas in a can and does not understand why such food was put in a consumer basket for a 4-member family containing 13 liters of milk.

-I don't want to turn this debate with you into sharing recipes, but the next time you go to the market, and you said you are going often, take and compare cooking time of that peas from a can which is illogical for you, and the other. It may not matter to you, but for an average Macedonian family it is very important how long the stove will be on. Instead of holding us housekeeping lessons, it is not bad to hear your stance on reducing the travel expenses of MPs and why VMRO-DPMNE did not support them-Petrovska addressed the Minister, as part of a traditional Democratic Instrument for Parliamentary Affairs, in Parliament.

Dimitrieska-Kochoska replicated this, who told Petrovska that she could not even tell her that she was respected for her.

-On the basis of what you put in your mouth mothers who have children and how do you know you a more family family how much should it spend? I am the mother of two sons and I know very well how much a four -member family should spend. For the peas, and I want to buy from a can, but I'm not alone, we are four members, so in the cheapest markets I buy frozen peas – said the minister of the parliamentary rostrum.

MP Petrovska told the minister that « if there was a bottom, you broke it ». For her these were inappropriate comments.

A reaction from the SDSM Women's Forum condemned the statement of Minister Kocovska immediately, calling it shameful, offensive and discriminatory and the lowest event in the Assembly.

The President of the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia, Venko Filipce, condemned today's statement by the Minister of Finance Gordana Dimitrijeska Kochoska, directed at SDSM MP Slavjanka Petorovska. Filipce emphasized that Minister Kochoska's statement is insolent, humiliating, with personal discredits that are inherent in VMRO DPMNE.

-I was shot from today's insult that the Minister of Finance, Kocovska, sent her to MP Slavjanka Petrovska. Her insolent and humiliating statement – that Petrovska cannot know how much a four -member family is spending because there are no children disgusted. Instead of arguments and debate in Parliament, we testify at personal discredits, which is a well-known way of defending VMRO-DPMNE. Whenever they are faced with criticism, their answer is not a debate, but a humiliation. I am sorry that Slavjanka is again the target of attacks. Not so long ago it was a victim of discredit and lies by MP Kovachki. But Slavjanka is a strong woman and a top professional, a man who always treats everyone with respect- unlike those who attack her. This is not just an attack on Slavjanka- this is an attack on all women- wrote on her Facebook profile Filipce.

-The public has long been tired of Slavica Petrovska's constant attempts to present herself as a victim whenever he is being held accountable. Instead of giving concrete arguments and facing reality, it uses the same old tactic every time-starring attacked and redirects the focus of essential issues-VMRO-DPMNE reacted.

They say the latest case is another proof of this.

-Finance Minister Gordana Dimitrijeska-Kochoska talked about the real costs of a four-member family, something that all citizens feel on their own skin. But instead of an argumentative debate, Petrovska again chose to play on the victim's map, hoping to avoid essential topics. Citizens deserve answers, not false empathy and theatricality. It is time for Petrovska to stop this political manipulation and finally offer more than personal injuries and empty phrases – say the party.

Gordana Dimitrieska-Kochoska expressed regret for the context derived from her replica

« I understand the hysteria that SDS and their bots spread around my political duel with Slavjanka Petrovska. Imagine they were not these qualifications, a series of insults and false accusations that I was the same woman, which would be remembered by today's session. There are people on this political scene who will be remembered for the ruthless strokes and self -conducting of spider vehicles, as well as people who, besides being machine and Papet dolls of the Strumica landslide, are known for their burning modular hospitals, on the same day their street falcon is found behind the grid. But there are also people whose performances will be remembered for acting sacrifices, whenever they will not be able to carry the arguments, « Dimitrijeska-Kochoska wrote.

« The notorious fact is that Petrovska has built a career of acting a victim. The series of reasons for pity is long. Each of her performance is remembered for being a sacrifice for something after each duel. But on the other hand, today's performance of the sacrifice was of the same rostrum from which he attacked and spoke about the father of a minister's minister, or the prime minister's son, although both are not related in any political context. She had no trouble to behave ironically, insults, she said, and at the moment when something was answered, then she became a sacrifice.
As for my words to Slavjanka Petrovska, who personally defended as a woman when many others attacked her, were taken out of context and interpreted as personal insult.
I have never had and will not intend to offend her personally, nor to reduce the debate in the personal context. I am a person who will never hear personal insults, and I regret that some of the public is manipulated in that context, and I regret that my words were misunderstood.
What I wanted to emphasize was that respect should be deserved with works and responsibility. Mrs. Petrovska, in addition to becoming known for a series of political gaffes and inappropriate actions, was a consistent supporter of the policies of SDSM and DUI – policies that led the state to this situation.
Recall, at the time when Mrs. Petrovska was a minister, inflation was growing, and we saw no concrete proposal on her part to improve the economic situation. Then, when she was in office, it didn't bother her, but today we are talking about a situation that is a direct consequence of those policies. The state was brought to the edge of bankruptcy, hundreds of thousands of citizens moved in search of a better life, and over 600,000 people lived in poverty.
All this does not want to hear loudly, so Slavjanka is a victim, « reads the post of Minister Dimitrieska-Kochoska.

Petrovska: Kocovska's intention was to be humiliated

SDSM lawmaker Slavjanka Petrovska in the show « 24 Analysis » on Television 24 noted that today in parliament she was questioning why VMRO-DPMNE MPs did not support the law on reducing the travel expenses, which did not receive an answer.

-I got an insult, but I didn't receive the insult, was it intention to be offended and belittled because I have no children and I have no family, absolutely yes. The reactions that followed the public not only of SDSM after this is that it actually upset VMRO-DPMNE, because they saw that the work went too far-Petrovska said.

« Instead of this, the minister addressed me: » I can't say, respected.  » Did I offend her with something. No. « To say dearest you have to deserve my respect, » no. In the dictatorship it is the case, in democracy, it is the ministers who seek the respect of lawmakers, no matter which party they come from. « Based on what you put in your mouths with mothers who have children and how you know you a more family family to spend. I'm the mother of two sons.  » – What does this allude to if not to underestimate and attempt to discredit me, to discriminate against me because I have no children. That's my personal condition, my personal status and whether I am alone, whether I have a family or have children is my personal question. Why is this so I know the fate. I am sorry that for 15 minutes we are discussing something that happened today in Parliament-said SDSM MP Slavjanka Petrovska.

« We were a normal state, in which there was responsibility and in which the order was known, which asks questions in parliament and who calls for responsibility I expected that we would have resigned from the minister so far, » said SDSM MP Slavjanka Petrovska in the « 24 Analysis » show.
