Demonstrators tear down the protective sheet from the Triumphal Arch “Macedonia”

-

Demonstrators from the “Colourful Revolution” today tore down the protective sheets from the Triumphal Arch “Macedonia” and again hurled paint at it. The white sheet was put up earlier on in the day by city officials to stop protesters from throwing paint at the monument from the controversial project “Skopje 2014”.

Before that, while demonstrators passed Parliament they again covered the Ministry of Justice with paint.

Also, today demonstrators carried with them dolls dressed up in prison jumpsuits. On the heads of the dolls were images of politicians who had been pardoned by President Gjorgi Ivanov, and are suspects in ongoing investigations by the Special Prosecutor’s office.
