ai generated text

59 people, mostly young Macedonians, have lost their lives in a nightclub fire in Kocani, North Macedonia. The cause of the fire is attributed to pyrotechnics on stage at Club Pulse, which was located in an unlicensed former carpet warehouse. Demonstrations have erupted in both Kocani and Skopje, with protesters demanding justice and change in the country. Authorities are urging calm, with Interior Minister Panche Toshkovski appealing for reason.

    1. We must allow the prosecuting authorities to do their job so that in the end we can finally normalise the state.
    2. The detainees will be questioned since there are grounds for suspicion that there is bribery and corruption linked to the fire.
    3. The number of people inside the club was at least double its official capacity of 250.

    1. There is no person in Macedonia who is not broken with a destroyed sense of spirit after this.
    2. This is the culmination of a bad, neglected system.
    3. The wave of grief has been turned into anger and deep-seated frustration at local authorities.

    1. There was no access for fire engines from either side in accordance with the fire safety regulations. The interior of the building was lined with plasterboard, but it was not fireproof.
    2. It did not have two exit doors, but only one single improvised metal door at the back of the building, which was locked and without a handle on the inside.
