More than a month later, Macedonia is still reeling from the disastrous nightclub fire in Kocani, that killed over 60 young people. The magnitude of the disaster deeply shook the nation. We are still looking for ways to cope with its effects.
There is a push for soul searching and looking for steps we could take that would bring some closure to the families. One thing that all agree on is the need for a major anti-corruption push, which is happening, with dozens of top and middle level officials being prosecuted, for actions that have, through corruption or negligence, contributed to the disaster. There are, of course, political ramifications and attempts to take advantage of the wounded public opinion, and we cover this as well.
