Skopje, 4 July 2022 (MIA) - People have gathered Monday for the third day in a row in front of the government in Skopje to protest against the French proposal put forward to unblock the country's EU integration process and lift the Bulgarian veto. The protest is held under the slogan "Ultimatum - No Thank You". Some protesters hurled eggs, bottles, flowers, etc, at the government's building. After skipping over the fence, they came face to face with a cordon of policemen. Also, protesters are chanting "Resignation" and signing patriotic songs. Police presence is heightened near the government. With no official organizer, the protest is supported by political parties and civil organizations believing the proposal is harmful for the Macedonian people and the Macedonian national interests. The protest is backed by the largest opposition party VMRO-DPMNE with its leader Hristijan Mickoski calling on people to join to defend European value and to salvage the EU negotiations process.
