Macedonia opposition says preparing mass protest in Skopje on Sunday
The Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM), the largest opposition party in the country, will demand the resignation of Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski at a mass protest in the capital Skopje on Sunday, the party’s leader Zoran Zaev said Friday, Sputnik reports.
According to Zaev, Gruevski is responsible for the crisis in the country.
He added that the protest would be peaceful, but continue until the government’s resignation. About 70,000 people will join in the rally, he said.
"All members of our party were instructed to record on camera a potential police violence, or other facts that could lead to clashes on Sunday during the protests, to once again demonstrate the truth about the violence of the authorities."
Zaev noted that the SDSM is in talks with Albanian parties about their participation in the Sunday protest.
