Spasovski: To protest is a democratic right, organized violence and destruction isn't allowed
Skopje, 6 July 2022 (MIA) – I call on all citizens who want to express their dissatisfaction through protest, to use that right in a democratic manner and not to allow themselves to be manipulated, as some others were and to attack police officers or vital buildings, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Oliver Spasovski said in a Facebook post. “Any attack will be severely punished. I especially appeal to all political entities in the country to behave responsibly, because they are obliged to be the most responsible ones,” said Spasovski. He emphasized that the protest is within the democratic rights and can be organized, but under no circumstances is the organization of violence, the destruction of the state and the constitutional order allowed. “Together, we should all contribute to our common peace, our common security and stability,” Spasovski said in the post. ad/ba/
