Skopje, 4 October 2022 (MIA) – There is no need for a broad coalition and a caretaker government because this Government has political legitimacy and capacity to manage the challenges ahead, said Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski on Tuesday. PM Kovachevski was quizzed about the statement of DS leader Pavle Trajanov about the possibility of a broad coalition that would involve all political parties. “Trajanov was probably motivated by what I said in the Parliament that all political parties, be it in power or opposition, should give their maximum in the country’s management of the energy and economic crisis that the entire continent is in,” Kovachevski told a press conference after a meeting with VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski. He added that the incumbent authorities have been facing challenges since day one in office, expressing assurance that the current crisis will be tackled as well. “This Government was elected on January 17 and you asked the same questions back then – whether Skopje will have heating or regarding the electricity supply. We also managed to secure uninterrupted food supply. We successfully managed another peak of the coronavirus. Therefore, I believe we will manage the energy crisis over the next six months,” underlined Kovachevski.
