1 | Macedonia: Fuel Prices Continue to Rise | Makedonia: Mitohy Misondrotra Ny Vidin-tsolika |
2 | Continuous increase of fuel prices is a cause of much concern for citizens of Macedonia, and some vent the tension through humor. | Ny fisondrotana tsy mitsahatry ny vidin-tsolika no anton'ny olana maro ho an'ireo vahoaka ao Makedonia, ary ny sasany tsy misalasala miresaka ilay fihenjanana anaty hanihany. |
3 | The prices are set by a regulatory body, and more and more social media users object to the fact that the lion's share of the revenue in fact goes to the government, stymieing the growth of the business sector. | Sampan-draharaha iray mpandrindra manokana no nametra ireo vidin-tsolika, ary betsaka tokoa ireo mpampiasa ny tambajotra sosialy no misakana ny hizaràna ny anjaran'ny hafa amin'ny tamberim-bidy ho lasan'ny governemanta, sakana ho an'ny fampandrosoana ny sehatry ny fandraharahàna. |
4 | On his blog, Zoriv published comparisons of the prices of oil derivatives in Macedonia, the USA and the EU [mk], and also calculated how much fuel one can buy on an average salary in various countries [mk]. | Ao amin'ny bilaoginy, Zoriv dia namoaka fampitahàna ny vidin-javatra azo avy amin'ny fanodinana solika ao Makedonia, Etazonia sy ny Fiombonambe Eraopeana [mk], ary koa nikajy ny fatran-tsolika azon'ny olona iray vidiana amin'ny karama salantsalany any amin'ny firenen-tsamy hafa [mk]. |
5 | (Both posts are in Macedonian, but the tables with country comparisons are in English and easily comprehensible.) | (Amin'ny teny Makedoniana avokoa ireo lahatsoratra roa, saingy ny tabilao fampitahàna isaky ny firenena dia amin'ny teny Anglisy mora takarina.) |
6 | So, according to Zoriv, Latvia has the lowest price of gasoline in Europe (EUR 1.20), while Norway has the highest (EUR 1.94). | Araka izany, raha ny fijerin'i Zoriv, Latvia no manana ny vidin-tsolika ambany indrindra ao Eraopa (EUR 1.20), raha i Norvezy kosa no manana ny ambony indrindra (EUR 1.94). |
7 | Consumers in Macedonia have to pay EUR 1.4. | Ireo mpanjifa ao Makedonia dia tsy maintsy mamoaka EUR 1.4. |
8 | While the official explanation for rising fuel prices is always the change of price of crude oil, Zoriv points out that a major factor in forming the end price are the excise taxes that go directly to the state budgets in countries with the highest prices (Norway, Holland, Italy, the UK, and Greece). | Raha toa ny fanazavana ofisialy mikasika ny fisondrotry ny vidin-tsolika dia matetika ny fiovàn'ny solika tsy voadio, avoitran'i Zoriv kosa fa ny tena singa fototra mametra farany ny vidiny dia ireo hetra toy ny taxes d'accise izay mandeha mivantana mankany amin'ny kitapom-bolam-panjakana any amin'ireo firenena manana vidin-tsolika ambony be (Norvezy, Holland, Italia, Angeletera, ary Gresy). |
9 | He adds: | Manampy izy hoe : |
10 | In Macedonia, for instance, the total taxation together with the profit margin for the merchants form around 70% of the price (Official Gazette of Republic of Macedonia, no. 138/09 and 52/11). | Ao Makedonia, ohatra, ny fitambarana'ny hetra miaraka amin'ny tombony azon'ny mpaninjara alaina no manome ny 70€ amin'ny vidin-tsolika (Gazetim-Panjakan'ny Repoblikan'i Makedonia, laharana 138/09 sy 52/11). |
11 | The difference between Macedonia and the EU countries, alongside the salary levels which are incomparable, is the tragic fact that even the slightest increase of oil derivative prices affects the personal material existence of every citizen of Macedonia. | Ny elanelana misy eo amin'i Makedonia sy ireo firenena ao amin'ny Fiombonambe Eraopeana, etsy ankilan'ny resaka haavon'ny karana izay tsy azo ampitahaina mihitsy, dia ny zava-mampalahelo hoe na dia kely sy bitika aza ny fisondrotam-bidin'ireo zavatra azo avy amin'ny fanodinana solika dia miantraika any amin'ny fiainana ara-materialin'ny olona tsirairay ao Makedonia izany. |
12 | The latest data show that fuel consumption has decreased by 30% [mk]. | Ny angona farany dia mampiseho fa ny fanjifàna solika dia nihena 30% [mk]. |
13 | The increase of fuel prices leads to a spiral of the increase of all other living expenses, while family budgets drastically decrease. | Ny sondro-bidin-tsolika dia niteraka fisondrotan'ireo fandaniana hafa ilaina amin'ny fiainana, raha toa kosa ka mitontongana izay tsy izy ny fahefa-mividin'ny tokantrano. |
14 | The Macedonian government temporarily abolished the excise before the June 2011 elections, but returned it later, raising the prices [mk] in August. | Ny governemanta Makedoniana dia nanafoana vonjimaika ny hetra talohan'ny fifidianana natao ny Jona 2011, saingy namerina izany taty aoriana, nanondrotra ny vidiny [mk] tamin'ny Aogositra. |
15 | By calculating how much fuel a citizen can buy with an average salary, Zoriv tried to shed light on income disparities: in the United States, one can buy 4,296 liters of gasoline on an average monthly salary. | Amin'ny fikajiana ny fatran-tsolika azon'ny olom-pirenena tsirairay vidiana amin'ny karama salantsalany, Zoriv dia nanandrana nitondra hazavana mikasika ny fitsinjarazaràn'ny vola miditra : ao Etazonia, afaka mividy solika 4.296 litatra ny olona iray amin'ny salan-karamany isam-bolana. |
16 | In Europe, the top spots go to Switzerland (3,441 l), Luxemburg (3,439 l), and Germany (3.075 l). | Ao Eraopa, lasan'i Soisa ny toerana voalohany (3.441 l), Luxemburg (3.439 l), ary Alemàna (3.075 l). |
17 | The lowest on the list are Macedonia (243 l) and Albania (194 l), with a “disastrous ratio of 1:14″ compared to the leading “rich” countries. | Ny any amin'ny faran'ny lisitra dia i Makedonia (243 l) ary Albania (194 l), miaraka aminà “taha mahamenatra 1.14″ raha mitaha amin'ireo firenena ‘manan-karena' |
18 | According to the 2010 edition of the annual publication 200 Largest Companies in Macedonia, prepared and published by the Euro Business Center - Skopje, the two largest companies in the country are: the sole oil refinery OKTA (owned by the Greek interests, privatized while the current PM Gruevski served as the Minister of Finance) and the biggest oil derivatives distributor Makpetrol, with the total revenues of EUR 512 million and EUR 350 million, respectively. | Araka ny famoahana isan-taona tamin'ny 2010 an'ireo Orinasa 200 Goavana Indrindra ao Makedonia, nokarakaraina sy navoakan'ny Euro Business Center - Skopje, ireo orinasa roa goavana indrindra ao amin'ny firenena dia : ny OKTA hany mpanodina solika (izay fampiasam-bolan'ny Grika, nalaina ho fananam-pirenena fony naha-minisitra misahana ny vola ny praiminisitra Gruevski) ary ilay mpaninjàra goavana ireo vokatra azo avy amin'ny solika, Makpetrol, izay manana fitambaram-bola miditra 512 tapitrisa Euro sy 350 tapitrisa Euro tsirairay avy. |
19 | The prospects for the future seem bleak. | Toa manjombona ny fara-vodilanitry ny hoavy. |
20 | According to the UNDP report “Assessing the Economic Impact of Climate Change,” Macedonia also faces numerous other challenges in the energy sector. | Araka ny tatitry ny PNUD “Tomba Ara-Toekarena Ny Fiantraikan'ny Fiovan'ny Toetrandro,” dia maitrika fanamby goavana hafa marobe ihany koa i Makedonia eo amin'ny sehatry ny angovo. |
21 | Social media users shared various kinds of data related to the fuel price increase, such as the table [mk] showing the elements that form the prices of fuel, originally from an Radio Free Europe article [mk] by Srgjan Stojanchov: | Ireo mpampiasa ny media sosialy dia nifampizara karazana angona samihafa mifandray amin'ny resaka fisondrotan'ny vidin-tsolika, toy ny tabilao [mk] mampiseho ny singa rehetra mandrafitra ny vidin'ny solika: Ireo singa mandrafitra ny vidin'ny so-lika amin'ny Dinara Makedoniana. |
22 | Elements of fuel prices in Macedonian Denars. They also posted various reactions to ongoing developments with the fuel prices, and the most shared were the humorous responses, such as this joke: “Would you like to take your girlfriend someplace expensive? - Take her to a gas station!” | Nampakatra ihany koa ry zareo ny fanehoan-kevitra samihafa momba ny fivoaran'ny adihevitra miainga amin'izao fotoana miaraka amin'ilay fisondrotry ny vidin-tsolika, ary ny tena betsaka ifampizaràna indrindra dia ireo fanehoan-kevitra miaro hanihany, toy ity vazivazy ity : “Te-hitondra ny sipanao mba ho any amin'ny toerana lafo va ianao? - Mba ento eny amin'ny tobin-tsolika izy!” |
23 | The latest chuckle is a demotivation-style meme featuring the late Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito and a supposed laconic quote in Croatian: | Ny farany indrindra amin'ny fampihomehezana dia ny endrika tsy mampazoto manasongadina ilay mpitondra Yogosilavy teo aloha Josip Broz Tito sy fitanisàna iray amin'ny teny Kroaty heverina ho tsy dia be teny loatra |
24 | Photo of Tito and a supposed quote: You say the gasoline got more expensive? | Sarin'i Tito sy fitanisàna iray: Lazainao fa hoe lasa lafo be ny solika? |
25 | Well, why don't you make a deal with the Non-Aligned countries? | Raha izany, inona no antony tsy ifampiraharahano amin'ireo firenena tsy momba ny atsy na ny aroa? |
26 | During the Cold War, Tito was famous for striking a balance between Eastern and Western blocs, with Yugoslavia serving as a kind of a buffer, to the commercial benefit of its people. | Nandritra ny Ady Mangatsiaka, Tito dia nalaza tamin'ny fikatsahana fifandanjàna teo amin'ny vondrona Tatsinanana sy ny Tandrefana, niaraka tamin'i Yogoslavia nampiasaina ho toy ny mpanelanelana, mba ho tombontsoa ara-toekaren'ny vahoakany. |
27 | In 1961, he co-founded the Non-Aligned Movement, which included many oil-producing nations, resulting in favorable trade relations. | Tamin'ny 1961, niaraka nanangana ny Hetsiky ny Tsy Mirona Amin'ny Atsy na ny Aroa izy, izay nahitàana firenena maro mpamokatra solika, nahatongavana taminà fifanakalozana ara-barotra nirindra. |
28 | A famous political-economic quote attributed to him (in the Lexicon of Yugoslav Mythology) is this: “The grain that we received from the Americans is much superior in quality to the grain the Soviets did not deliver.” | Ny ampahan-teny malaza momba ny politika sy toekarena nahalalàna azy dia ity (ao amin'ny Lexicon of Yugoslav Mythology) : “Ny voa voaraintsika avy amin'ny Amerikana dia ambony lavitra ara-kalitao noho ny voa izay tsy natolotry ny Sovietika akory.” |
