Skopje, 5 October 2021 (MIA) — SDSM leader Zoran Zaev and the party’s candidate for mayor of Skopje’s Aerodrom Municipality, Aleksandar Filipovski, are taking part in a rally of SDSM’s "Best for My Municipality" coalition in Aerodrom on Tuesday evening, after the coalition held rallies with citizens in the municipalities of Gazi Baba, Chair, Petrovec, and Ilinden earlier in the day. At the Petrovec rally, Zaev said that from January 2022, the state would cover salary contributions for everyone under 29 who was employed for the first time, announcing additional incentives for new employees. “For those who are not yet ready to enter the workforce because they haven’t developed their skills yet, the state will cover the companies’ costs of giving you internships,” the SDSM leader said. “Dear young people, I urge you to take the opportunities offered at the central and local level. These opportunities are in front of you. The state and your municipalities provide them. Stay at home and get involved,” Zaev added. At the Chair rally, SDSM’s vice president Sanja Lukarevska said that SDSM and the coalition nurture values ​​of mutual respect, justice, and equal opportunities under the motto “One Society for All.” “We have no time to waste, or people, on divisions, on nationalisms, on hatred. We’re together, working together for a faster, kinder development of our municipality, our homeland,” Lukarevska told Chair citizens. At the Gazi Baba rally, SDSM and the coalition’s candidate for Skopje mayor, Petre Shilegov, said the incumbent local government was prudent and had already saved money, which was reallocated for significant purposes. “Young people have to stay in Skopje, which is why we will keep investing in them,” Silegov said at the SDSM rally in Gazi Baba. mr/
