Due to the lack of support of citizens, the opposition had to bring people from other cities to join the protest on Monday. As expected, most of them came from Kumanovo and Strumica. Around 100 buses and vans were parked near the Skopje Fair building and in Debar Maalo settlement.
The majority of the protesters did not even try to hide the fact that they have been organized by SDSM. The task to gather more people to come to Skopje was given to the municipal organizations of SDSM to show that there is a great number of protesters. Part of the attendees employed in the municipality got a day off.
There were information whether SDMS has given sandwiches to their devotees who stayed in Skopje late on Monday.
The opposition so far has blamed VMRO-DPMNE that it brings people from other cities and that the majority have been forced to come to Skopje.
