On 16 March it was announced that the political atmosphere in Macedonia is characterised by tensions and a lack of trust. Since PM Nikola Gruevski resigned on 15 January, the planning and supervision of the next elections have been heavily debated. Tempers are running extra high now the Constitutional Court might pardon individuals who rigged previous elections. On Tuesday evening a protest march, backed by civil society organisations, the main opposition Social Democratic Union (SDSM) and the Grom party, filled the streets of Skopje.
