Reactions to 5th Anniversary of 27 April 2017 Storming of Parliament

Parties reacted on Wednesday to the fifth anniversary of the 27 April 2017 storming of Parliament. “Five years later, we have an obligation to never allow the bloody Thursday to repeat itself again. It will not be repeated only if all political entities essentially unite around democratic values,” SDSM said. VMRO-DPMNE organised a protest outside the prison in Prilep, where part of those convicted are serving the sentence. Alliance for Albanians’ message is that the country “left one regime but entered another”. Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski said police hadn’t reacted properly on 27 April 2017. Ex-PM Zoran Zaev said 27 April 2022 was the fifth anniversary of the victory of courage and democracy against fear and dictatorship.
