The chairman of LSDM, Venko Filipce, stressed that the issue concerning the European Union has transcended typical political debates. It’s now fundamentally about the future of the state and its citizens. Filipce, speaking on “RTVM,” cautioned that stagnation in European integration presents a significant danger to the nation’s prospects and the well-being of its people.
He highlighted that the decisions made today directly impact those who could disappear within a decade or more. He noted that half of Macedonians are projected to obtain Bulgarian passports, leading to emigration and the realization of advantages offered by the European Union. Currently, the population remaining within the state is less than 1.5 million.
This situation represents a serious concern. The matter is no longer confined to partisan politics or the actions of the government or opposition; it’s intrinsically linked to the future of the state itself. Filipce underscored the urgency of addressing this issue, emphasizing the potential consequences for the country’s demographic makeup and the overall trajectory of its development.
