Northern Macedonia dropped the flags in half of the staff while thousands of people gathered at memorials to mourn 59 people killed at a nightclub over the weekend.

The authorities explored the decay of the license regulations and the allegations of receiving bribes associated with the nightclub, which was full of young dual capacity reveals when the fire went through it.

The authorities have so far arrested and detained about 20 people for interrogating fire, including government officials and nightclub managers.

One of the DNA singers, Andrej Gjorgjieski, was killed and the other, Vladimir Blazev, was injured while the guitarist, drummer and assistant singer also died.

‘We can’t keep quiet’

In the capital of Skopje, hundreds of people were massaging at the University of Frigid Rain on a memorial ceremony under the leadership of students, during which people watched a few minutes of silence, laid flowers and lit candles in a makeshift shrine.

Emotions have taken place.

“I don’t think this is an accident, but it is literally directly murdering because of all the violations that are being done in the country. We cannot remain silent all the time, no matter how much we are afraid,” said Angela Zumbakov, a 19-year-old psychology student for the AFP news agency.

“[The nightclub] operates in sub -state conditions. That’s not what, and people made money from it. Who is responsible? “Sasa Djenin, a school teacher whose 15-year-old daughter has escaped from a fire with Burns on her hands, she told Reuters news agency.

The state coroner said the bodies were brought to identification in the Morgues series because of the large number of people killed.

In Kocani, dozens of people were waiting in line to sign a condolence book.

“We are all in shock, and I am shocked – as a mother, as a person, as president,” said President Gordan Davko Davko Siljanovska in addressing the state on Sunday night.

The puddles also took place from leaders across Europe, including the hospitalized Pope Francis.

Reporting from Kocanija, Al Jazeera told Maja Blazevska that people who gathered downtown were to identify the wrong guilty of the fire.

“They were to blame for this tragedy, as they said, the corrupt Macedonia system,” she said.

The Government of North Macedonia has ordered a three -day inspection in all nightclubs and cabarets across the country, starting on Monday.

Public Prosecutor Ljupco Kocevski said that a preliminary inspection of the nightclub has discovered numerous violations of the Security Act, including the lack of emergency outputs, an insufficient number of fire extinguishers and an irregular access to emergency vehicles.

The fire caused the roof of one -story building to be partially demolished, discovering the carbon remains of wooden beams and debris.

“The misses are significant. I can confidently say that this is the failure of the system,” the prosecutor told reporters, also noticing the lack of extinguishing systems and alarms for extinguishing and use of flammable materials to align the interior walls.

Kocevski said his office works to determine the criminal responsibility of numerous people for “serious offenses against public security” and other crimes.

“Individuals acted contrary to the regulations and technical rules of protection measures, thus causing the danger to the life and work of people to a great extent,” he said.
