In its main story the daily covers the opposition meeting held on Sunday, writing that this was a warm up for early elections. Tens of thousands of people from all around the country, including the noticeably large number of residents from the capital Skopje, occupied all the entryways to the government building, in front of which the big rally of the opposition Social Democrats was held.

The opposition party showed that there is another Macedonia, different from that depicted in the government commercials. They showed that there is an army of people who are unsatisfied, oppressed, and poor.

The opposition meeting held on Sunday in front of the government building was a warm up for early elections. The opposition Social democrats have started their battle for toppling the government led by the centre-right VMRO DPMNE.

No matter the outcome of the talks with Greece over the name dispute, our goal is to disband the Parliament in November and go forward with snap polls, Social Democrats leader Branko Crvenkovski said.
