There is not an iota of hope that there will ever be decommunization and the opening of Tito’s UDBA files
Brutal anti-Bulgarian, as well as anti-European, propaganda is conducted in RSM, which neither the authorities nor the opposition oppose
A few days ago, the Bulgarian MEP Andrey Kovachev and four other Bulgarians were not allowed to enter the territory of North Macedonia to visit a Bulgarian military cemetery. .
“The Macedonian police will not allow, neither now nor in the future, anyone to violate public order and tranquility and to insult and denigrate the citizens and the state. Such persons will not be allowed to enter the territory of the state”, arrogantly explained the spokesman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the RSM Tony Angelovski.
We are being chased by the RSM
Of course, according to an old and senseless tradition, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs allegedly condemned the situation, but let’s not forget that, unlike the eloquent actions of the RSM, we again responded to them with some statement in which we are very indignant at their actions, but so what . Deeds vs words…
This is actually a new, even darker chapter in the attitude of the RSM towards us, because Kovachev, as he himself stated, has been going to Novo Selo, Macedonia, to the Bulgarian military cemetery on St. George’s Day for more than 10 years, and now for the first time he is not allowed. Not anyone was allowed in, but Dr. Milen Vrabevski – the man thanks to whose donations these cemeteries were restored.
On the day we celebrated the anniversary of Delchev’s murder, other Bulgarians were also allowed to Macedonia, to Delchev’s grave in Skopje. Well, we wrote, the MFA again wrote notes. Unlike the real Bulgarians, persons from the so-called were admitted to the RSM. “Club for Bulgarian-Macedonian friendship”, actually created by Bulgarian-phobes paid by RSM and Serbia. Those in question even shared photos, scolding everyone who once again dared to raise the topic of why Bulgarians cannot worship at the grave of one of our national heroes. The most unfortunate thing is that the photos showed the wreath left by the Macedonian side – in the colors of their flag, while the wreath from the representatives of the club in question was not (of course) in the colors of the Bulgarian flag.
Days before this series of arrogant and illegal actions by the Macedonian side, the prosecutor’s office in Bitola brought charges of racism against the Chairman of the Bulgarian cultural club “Ivan Mihailov” in Bitola, Republic of Macedonia, Lyubcho Georgievski. He is accused of “repeated crime – inciting hatred or intolerance on a national, racial, religious and other discriminatory basis (…), as well as for spreading racist and xenophobic material by electronic means”.
At the end of March, the Bulgarian club “Ivan Mihailov” in Bitola was deleted from the central register of the RSM. And then our Foreign Ministry again responded only in writing…
Then it became clear that Lambe Alabakovsky, who set fire to the front door of our cultural center “Ivan Mihailov”, made a deal with the prosecutor’s office for the least possible punishment. We were outraged again while the PCM acted.
On January 19, 2023, in Ohrid, the secretary of the local Bulgarian association, Hristiyan Pendikov, was brutally beaten. We again wrote a note of protest.
In the last two years, brutal anti-Bulgarian and anti-European propaganda has been carried out in the RSM, which neither the authorities nor the opposition opposes. In fact, they don’t even try to. On the contrary, they encourage these anti-Bulgarian reactions with laws, with actions, with statements. And do we write, do we write…
They are chasing us from Greece
But if you think that only the RSM has a similar attitude towards us, you are sorely mistaken. On May 4, a group of 18 people from Gotse Delchev set off for Greece to visit the revolutionary’s birthplace, but their bus was stopped near the village of Banitsa. “You can’t go down,” one of the policemen declares, then escorts the group to the police station.
90-year-old Pavlina Sabkova also ended up in the Greek police station, whose only fault apparently was that she brought… a bouquet of flowers to lay on Delchev’s forehead. After hours spent at the district office, without anyone explaining to them what law they had broken and why they were being detained, they were finally released.
Of course, here you already know perfectly well what follows. Our foreign ministry is asking the Greek authorities, but the official response is slow, and law enforcement agencies there do not indicate specific reasons for the actions they have taken. Actions vs words…
They are chasing us from Serbia
Two months earlier, in March, during the visit of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to Bosilgrad, the leaders of the local Bulgarians and members of the Cultural Information Center were detained and taken to the police.
Then Vucic unceremoniously stated the following: “I am glad that there is no difference between Serbs and Bulgarians in the way they live and that you feel the way the state treats you”, thanking the mayor of the city Vladimir Zahariev, who had become “main instrument of police repression against Bulgarians in the region”. Parallel to his words, Bulgarians were arrested who simply carried placards and wanted to ask questions of the Serbian president. Among the questions asked by the police was why on March 3 they put flags around Levski’s monument in Bosilegrad.
And last year, in November, when we celebrate the Day of the Western Suburbs, a group of 20 Bulgarians was stopped and returned to our country at the Serbian border crossing-Ribartsi. The reason – supposedly some post on Facebook that provocations were being prepared for the celebrations.
Well, yes, yes, we wrote notes again…
Unfriendly-unfriendly
That’s the kind of thing you do… They crush us in RSM, they crush us in Greece, they crush us in Serbia. They accept us as an enclave or worse, an esclave (a country that is part of another, but surrounded on all sides by the territory of a third). They just cannot understand whose we are the most and who has the greatest right over us. Or they just tacitly agreed to crush us from all sides.
And we write protest notes. The same us who have the greatest moral right over both the RSM and the Western suburbs. We are the same ones who don’t stop anyone who defines himself as Macedonian to enter our country, to present wreaths to Gotse Delchev, to have clubs. We don’t burn them, we don’t close them, we don’t beat anyone. And the RSM, transformed by Serbian and Russian influence into an anti-Bulgarian tumor entity, represses not anyone, but its own flesh and blood, hiding and distorting the truth.
And there is not a shred of hope that soon or ever there will be decommunization and opening of the UDBA files. None! Tito is still revered in the RSM, the Bulgarians are even more strongly repressed, persecuted, beaten and harassed, and Macedonia, whose foundation is the Bulgarian people, is sinking more and more into the swamp, denying its own ancestors.
And we write notes and declarations to ourselves, confirming the heavy guilt we also carry. Because the mortal remains of Gotse Delchev were handed over to Skopje by none other than the communist regime in our country. The height of self-humiliation that we can inflict on ourselves, while our then rulers had bowed their heads in the service of Moscow. And now it is quite late to talk about the historical truth, given that we ourselves betrayed our history and the truth, betrayed Gotse Delchev, betrayed the Bulgarians in the RSM, betrayed Macedonia.
