As someone who spent his whole life in the Republic,I have been whitnessing a huge number of Macedonians leaving the country in search for a better life abroad.
Roughly 60% of my friends have moved out through the years.
I went looking online to see exactly how many people immigrated since our independance and the results are startling.
According to the World Bank, 447 000 people have permanently relocated from Macedonia.
And according to Eurostat, over 230 000 people immgirated in the period between 1998 and 2011.
(Couldn't find direct links to both researches,maybe some of you will have better luck).
German media report that in the first 6 months of this year alone,7000 Macedonians filed asylum papers in that country.
And these are the official,confirmed and regulated numbers.Who knows what the real number is if you add the unregistered ones...
These numbers are frightening for a 21st century European country in development.
As of 1991,the govermnents of SDSM and DPMNE have drained our economy and made living conditions suitable only for their closest supporters.
Anyone who votes for them (that isn't a member or their "beneficiery") is commiting slow and painful suicide.
I just wonder how will they provide money for salaries when the last Macedonian moves out and there are no more people to collect taxes from.
And slowly but surelly,things are moving in that direction...
