Protesters are pushing with the riot police, during the protest dubbed “colorful revolution” against Macedonian President Ivanov's decision on wiretapping amnesty, in Skopje, The Former Yogoslav Republic of Macedonia, 21 April 2016. Ivanov on 12 April decided to abolish all judicial cases related to the big wire-tapping scandal that brought the country to early general elections scheduled for 05 June. The crisis started in 2015 when opposition SDSM started to publish illegally recorded wire-tapped phone conversations of the highest Governmental officials claiming they show financial crime and eventual evidences of electoral frauds of the ruling conservative VMRO-DPMNE party of then PM Gruevski. Gruevski denied everything saying “foreign intelligence services” are trying to topple his Government he was administrating from 2006. (Photo by Nake Batev/EPA)
