“I think this is the best confirmation that we have achieved the end result with the measures we have taken. It is also the answer for critics who said that this help is not necessary. Obviously such a large number of people who requested justify this help, “Mali told RTS. .
Mali also said he was very proud of the measures taken by the state, which he said were “the right measures at the right time.”

“I am sure that the citizens will use the aid of 100 euros to buy, acquire the things they need, and the state shows how strong and powerful it is. This also shares optimism, because they are trying to tell the citizens that we are strong and stable and that we want to move forward and develop the economy in the best way, “said Mali.
He recalled that the payment for retirees begins tomorrow and that 100 euros will be paid in the accounts of a million retirees, who can withdraw on Saturday.
Tomorrow, a call center will start operating, where citizens can also register for one hundred euros.
Mali recalled that citizens will be able to register until June 5 and that the money will be paid successively.
