Pope Francis expresses his “deepest condolences and last night, confirming his spiritual intimacy for the injured in a dramatic fire that caused 59 victims and 155 victims in Macedonia Del Norte. This can be read on a telegram signed by the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Piyro Parol, and Scoopje Bishop, Mansinor Grio Stozanov addressed. In the speech, Francisco calls “his memory in prayer” and “for those who have lost their lives” and “for those who experience such a hard source, as a heavenly comfort.”
The fire broke out at around 3 am during a concert attended by 1,500 people in Kohani Disco. Often, fireworks will begin with firecrackers from the platform. The organizers of the event and the owners of the campus were arrested. The victims were often between the ages of 14 and 27 years.
The Macedonian government has promised to make more efforts to determine the causes of the tragedy. “Today is the hardest and very sad day for Macedonia,” wrote Prime Minister Hiristirigen Mikoski. “The loss of many young lives is impossible to adjust and the pain of families, relatives and friends is impossible.” European companies’ condolences have been received, while the Serbian government has announced national sorrow in memory of the victims on March 18.
