The civil movement 'Protestiram' resumed on Thursday the protests in Skopje and several cities across Macedonia, calling once again for urgent rescinding of President's Gjorge Ivanov decision to pardon all of those under investigation over a wiretapping scandal.
Following the new developments protesters demanded inter alia for irrevocable resignation of the President and VMRO-DPMNE/DUI Government and setting up of a new cabinet with strict mandate.
In Skopje, the protesters as usual kicked off their march outside the offices of the Special Public Prosecution (SPO) to express their support for the institution tasked with investigating probes arising from the wiretapping scandal. Afterwards, they wrote quotes of late journalist Nikola Mladenov in front of the Government's building: 'How much the freedom costs?' and 'We wish for a society of free people, they wish for spineless people so there could be no compromise!'
The protesters also set on fire photos of the incumbent, former government officials, including the current head of state.
This evening the 'Colorful Revolution' sprayed the Parliament's building with paint.
Today, protests were also held in, Strumica, Kumanovo and Kriva Palanka.
