Thousands of citizens, journalists, public figures, politicians gathered in front of the Government and continued their protest under the motto “ULTIMATUM – No thanks”. The participants are against accepting the French proposal.
According to the participants, the denial of the right to self-determination and the conditioning of Macedonian European integrations with the acceptance of unilateral erasure of cultural and historical distinctiveness and unilateral non-recognition of the language, is not part of the criteria for membership in the EU nor a rule between the member states.
The protest that started Sunday night officially has no organizer, but it is supported by political parties and civil society organizations who believe that the proposal is extremely bad for the Macedonian people and Macedonian national interests. The protest also received support from the largest opposition party VMRO-DPMNE.
