In a mountain village in Greece, the instructor asks the coed: “Inform us, George, who killed the Stymphalian hens?” and Giorgis, who was arrested for the umpteenth time with out studying, will get upset and wonders whining: “So what, it is my fault once more, instructor?”.
Immediately a brand new headache arose for the federal government in our relationships with North Macedonia after a number of days in the past the sweeping election of President Gordana Silianovska with the acute nationalist social gathering VMRO-DPMNE (recognized for its independence from the time when Nikola Gruevski was prime minister, who had positioned the statue of Alexander the Nice in each sq. and had posted the identify of the Macedonian soldier on each road signal and on the large public buildings).
From the primary second, the brand new president made her mark, a mark of pressure relating to the identify, since throughout her swearing-in final Sunday she referred to as the nation “Macedonia”, eliminating the designation “North” because it was written within the textual content of the oath and because the key side “erga omnes” (that the composite identify “North Macedonia” will apply internationally in addition to inside the nation) of the Prespa Settlement (of Tsipras – Zaev) expressly offered.
It’s potential that the federal government consultant Pavlos Marinakis reacted, obligingly, by calling on the brand new authorities to respect the Prespa Settlement (sure, the settlement that – below the hoods and saris – they referred to as “treasonous” whereas additionally claiming that Tsipras offered the identify for pensions), however Silianovska discovered and does them.
As a result of 5 years in the past the federal government didn’t convey to the parliament – because it ought to – the three memoranda of cooperation with which it could ratify the settlement, defend the protection, diplomatic and financial cooperation of the 2 nations and lower the throat of the nationalism, populism and libertarianism of the neighbors.
However you may inform me right here it did not cease the home far-right, nationalists and fascists. Quite the opposite, she embraced them to win the elections in ’19, succumbed to the threats of Samaras and his firm to not dare and ratify the memorandums of cooperation (she was obliged to take action, because the settlement stipulated as a way to be accomplished) and right this moment she is in query I doubt the accession means of North Macedonia to the EU (within the flammable western Balkans) whereas – once more the identical – we’re once more discussing the identify, i.e. “Put the ships again” and Erdogan is ready within the nook to set foot on our northern border as effectively.
Sure, the Stymfalide hens of Prespa had been neutralized by Alexis Tsipras and Zoran Zaev and right this moment Mitsotakis has no proper to whine – just like the dangerous pupil – and ask himself: “So what, it is my fault once more?”.
