- Zoran Zaev, the leader of the Social Democratic Union Party, was charged Saturday with preparing a coup and has been prevented from leaving the country. Apparently, Zaev was accused by Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski of an attempted blackmailing.
- I am appalled at the news as this is so very recent and the opposing party's leader has evidence proving this accusation. Such a blunt attempt reveals a political unrest within the country's government.
- This ties in with the country's government because more drastic actions are being taken in order to shut down this political unrest. Macedonia's Interior ministry even stated this in the article above, saying that this was the first time in history that police had prevented an attempt on endangering the constitutional order and (an) undemocratic takeover or violation of the will of the citizens.
