Skopje Pride 2025
June 21 | 18:00 | Woman Fighter Park

For the sixth time, we return to the streets of Skopje — to remind everyone why we are here.

While the world burns from wars and climate collapse, and the state crumbles under the weight of its own corruption and incompetence, we — the LGBTIQ+ people — refuse to be complicit.

We raise our voices in resistance, we condemn, and we reject:

• The government’s demographic hysteria
• The erasure of LGBTIQ+ inclusivity from education and the lack of institutional care that has left queer youth unprotected
• The orchestrated attacks on our trans siblings that spread moral panic, fear, and hatred
• The government’s refusal to support the self-determination of the Palestinian people
• A state where food is a luxury and a dignified wage an impossible utopia
• The systemic corruption, impunity, and inaction that took 62 lives in Kochani

We do not want assimilationist inclusion within the norms of racist, patriarchal, colonial, and ecocidal capitalism—portrayed as the only possible world—where care has become a luxury, health a privilege, and freedom a marketing strategy. We insist on rejecting it!

To fascist fantasies that demand silence, we respond with noise.

Death to fascism, freedom for us—the people!

On June 21, we call on the wider community, friends, biological and chosen families, colleagues, and comrades to take to the streets of Skopje in the fight for collective freedom.

Let’s (keep) standing — together!
