Several thousand people gathered outside of the government buildings in the Skopje central square, carrying Macedonian flags and demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. Police are surrounding the square, RIA Novosti reported.
On Friday, the SDSM head Zoran Zaev stated that about 70,000 will be joining the rally. According to Zaev, all participants have been instructed to bring cameras to record potential police violence.
The protest comes during the time of political instability in Macedonia.
On May 6, at least 40 people, including 38 police officers, were injured during anti-government protests in Skopje.
The violent political protests began in the capital after Zaev accused the prime minister of concealing the circumstances surrounding the death of 22-year-old Martin Neskovski in June 2011.
The young man was beaten to death by Gruevski’s body guard, Zaev claims.
