The Parliament of the Republic of Macedonia approved the revised budget rebalancing for 2026 on Thursday afternoon. According to Telegrafi Maqedoni, the vote passed with 64 “yes” votes and no recorded “no” or abstentions. The session was preceded by a debate concerning the proposed adjustments.
The majority of deputies, who support the government, defended the rebalancing, arguing that its primary goals are to ensure economic stability, foster development, and maintain responsible management of public finances. Conversely, opposition members criticized the proposed rebalancing, asserting that it lacks focus on productive or social development. They emphasized that the public requires tangible results rather than mere political statements.
During the parliamentary session, the Minister of Finance, Gordana Dimitrieska-Koçoska, presented the revised proposal for the 2026 budget rebalancing. She stated that the government and the ministry have an obligation to respond promptly to economic needs. The passage of the revised budget signals the legislative framework for the upcoming fiscal year in Macedonia.
The debate highlighted a clear division between the ruling coalition’s focus on fiscal responsibility and the opposition’s demand for immediate, visible social and developmental spending.
