Macedonian Greeks Keep Protesting. Can They Stop The Name Deal?
THESSALONIKI, Greece - Rain or shine, Greek Macedonians are consistently protesting the name deal struck between the governments of Greece and Macedonia/FYROM.
Greek journalist Antony Tsolnaras joins Josh Friedman at a protest in Thessaloniki to discuss the resistance to the name deal and the demands of the protesters. Under what conditions would Greek Macedonians accept a name deal with their northern neighbors? And does Tsolnaras believe the protesters will succeed in upending the name deal on the Greek side of the border?

Ways you can help the @informationwar
All seems very complex. It does seem there is a move to make everyone the same eradicating culture and roots. I truly think everyone should come together don't get me wrong but we need to also recognise our differences at the same time as it make us who we are, also the culture and past culture is so important to understanding life! 💯🐒
It is a complex issue. There is a globalist/supranational vs. multinational element to it in that the EU and and NATO have been seeking to tame nationalist sentiments on both sides, so they could strike a deal that would integrate Macedonia (FYROM) into NATO and eventually the EU. Even though they reached an agreement, I think this issue shows how many people are not willing to give up their cultures and historical identity.
It good to see but sad also the so many people are unaware of what is happening . Also people who are unaware and say their not bothered 💯🐒
