VMRO-DPMNE vows to reject hatred, pursue economic growth in Macedonia

The VMRO‑DPMNE party issued a statement saying it will not allow "hatred and pessimism" to become a national ideology. It emphasized the need to continue on the path of economic development, stability and the protection of national interests, linking current challenges to the historic struggle for Macedonian statehood.

The party criticised political opponents for spreading defeatism, defetism and hostility, accusing them of seeking concessions on national‑identity issues in the EU‑integration process. It called on citizens to reject such messages, reaffirmed priorities such as the rule of law, the fight against crime, improving living conditions and creating opportunities for young people, and pledged to keep working toward a stronger, prosperous Macedonia.
