One of the most radical protests of the opposition took place Monday, however the direction of the radicalization prompted by SDSM is hard to predict, professor Oliver Andonov says.
According to Andonov this was the peak of the political frustration and misconception of SDSM that has resulted with an attempt to demolish the Prometheus monument.
"The police reacted very mildly. The Government and the police are very patient towards the opposition and its behavior. I expect the authorities to react in compliance with the law and to file complaints against the organizers of the protest for disturbance. Why should Zaev, considering he is one of the organizers, be exempted from the rules? The Civil Movement for Defense of Macedonia announced a rally before the Court house, hence if something had happened we would have claimed responsibility", Andonov says for Telegraf.mk.
The Civil Movement for Defense of Macedonia has organized several rallies and gatherings throughout the country, which were peaceful and triggered no incidents.
On the other hand, the protests organized by the opposition often generate incidents. Monuments and public property is constantly destroyed. One of the worst commotions was Tuesday's vandalism over the Prometheus monument in Park Woman Warrior in Skopje.
