SKOPJE: Scores of people were injured as violence erupted in Macedonia’s parliament after nationalist protesters stormed the building in anger over a vote for a new speaker, the interior ministry said Friday.

The chaos in Skopje broke out on Thursday evening, with dozens of demonstrators — including a group of masked men — breaking a police cordon and entering parliament waving Macedonian flags, shouting and singing the national anthem.
