The 6th day of demonstration
(Monday evening, 18th of April) by the United Opposition of Skopje
for the second time expressed revolt against “historical
innovations” which were introduced, for the decade of VMRO-DPMNE
monopoly over all forms of government. These well-known
“ethnological” forgeries serve only to instill both sense of
identity distinct from Bulgarian, Serbian and Ellino-
Vlach ethnicities, as well
as to motivate the population towards an expansionist agenda aimed
primarily against northern Greece.
The riot, which was on the largest
scale since the infamous decision by FYROM's President Ѓorge
Ivanov decided to grant abolition to dozens of leading politicians
primarily from the ranks of ruling VMRO-DPMNE, became aimed today
primarily against the Ministry of Culture, the chief promoter of
“ethnic Macedonian identity”.
The protesters, composed mostly of young
people, as well as a number of intellectuals, approached the building
of Ministry of Culture in central part of Skopje, in the evening at
20.00 local time/21.00 Greek time, and vigorously attacked its
frontal facade with paint-bombs. Police officers equipped with
anti-riot gear stepped in, but, being outnumbered, took only a
defensive stance.
This is the second
instance of assault against structures which are symbolic of
Pseudo-Macedonian “national ideology”, the first one being
Saturday's attack on the Triumphal Arch (so-called Porta Makedonija,
which was also targeted). In essence, this was a revolt against
decade-long hijacking of national future in the name of the invented
and fabricated past.
(Note: in the video, attack on the s.c. "Triumphal Arch" is on 3 min. 20 sec. while the attack on the Ministry of Culture is on 5 min. 25 sec.)
