According to Press TV, an estimated 30,000 supporters of embattled Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski took to the streets of Skopje on Monday in a show of force after a massive protest march by the center-left opposition forces on Sunday called on Gruevski to quit office, also accusing him of mass wiretapping and fomenting ethnic tensions to remain in power.
While Gruevski’s supporters were marching on Monday outside the nation’s parliament building, nearly 1,000 opposition protesters also established a protest camp near his offices in the capital amid deepening political crisis in the tiny Balkan state.
However, the troubled prime minister remained defiant on Monday, reiterating in an address to his supporters that he had no intention to step down, despite admitting to “mistakes and omissions” that he vowed to fix.
The 44-year-old prime minister said “No surrender, no bowing down! … Dark forces will not succeed,” accusing the opposition of being backed by foreign intelligence without pointing to any proofs.
