Macedonia: government survives no-confidence vote

Earlier this week, the SDSM justified their motion, accusing the government, led by Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, of making bad policy decisions and generating ethnic tension, thereby bringing the country's EU aspirations under threat.

During Thursday's parliamentary discussion, the leader of SDSM, Radmila Shekerinska, accused Prime Minister Gruevski of not delivering on the promises he had made to the people.

“This interpellation is not intended to cause the government to fall, but to show you that the policies you have been creating for ten months are failing,” Shekerinska said.

In his speech to Parliament, Prime Minister Gruevski argued that the interpellation comes at a bad time for the country's NATO integration; two days before his scheduled meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush, where Macedonia is hoping to gain encouragement.

Gruevski said that as a result of hard work, the government has made significant reforms and economic gains in the nine months since it came to power.

“I don't know how to work in a different way. This is where my commitment lies, where I spend fifteen hours per day, where the other ministers spend their fifteen hours per day working together on government projects,” Gruevski said.

Previously, VMRO-DPMNE and its coalition partners, the Democratic Party of Albanians and the New Social Democratic Party, met to resolve differences and show unity.
