The renaming of MACEDONIA under the Prespa treaty is illegal and undemocratic,
imposed by the West in violation of international law and against the will of the
Macedonian people. Greece still denies the existence of ethnic Macedonians anywhere
in the world. Long live the REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA!

The most interesting think in the comment section that no body gets the idea or the
messages from the carneval . As a macedonian I will correct the people firstly it’s not a
satanic think it’s a satire , it’s a old tradition where people wear scary masks in order
to scare the evils of the world one can say it’s pagan , it’s meant to laugh In the
worlds problems .

Македонци јел сте ви пукли с мозгом или шта?
Тако изгледа народ који прави расколе.

Не си чул за карневал? Торко глуп ретардиран
Традицијата кај нас е пиење вино и ракија и јадење кубаси(традиционално) или
други видови на месо! Се крше благословено домашно лепче за среќа!

This event is held in Macedonian town of Vevcani. People from all Macedonia and abroad
comes here with their costumes to show what is wrong with the world. The yellow wests
are one of the international "masks". The other example is the fat blond female arested
which show the "special prosecutor" which was really arested in Macedonia because she
was running a rocket ring in Macedonia. Usually a foreign ambassadors are spectators here,
but they are not coming anymore because festival is becoming politically uncorrected :-)
and start to show national and international filth in politics. In short this festival is one if
the last freedoms which can be enjoyed in Macedonia...

1,400-year-old carnival rooted in pre-Christian traditions. The festivity is dedicated to
Saint Basil the Great. Traditionally to ward off evil spirits. It's one of the oldest cultural
events in Macedonia. You could have explained it rt. Have some respect to the people and
creators of your so holy Slavic dynasty. THE MACEDONIANS

Satanic. People have gone from trying to improve and uplift, to trying to shock, to
trying to disgust. This bunch of cretins succeeded.

It's a pagan celebration that goes back a long way. They would select a Leader (Fool)
For A Day who held wicked parties in the streets and would be sacrificed at the end of
the day. Kept the peasants in control by allowing havoc for a day.

St. Basil was a Greek bishop who lived in the 4th century. He's known for saying,
"A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds." Looning out on his day proves the point.

There is NO North Macedonia.
There is NO South Macedonia.
There is NO left, right, up or down Macedonia.
Macedonia... historical, geographical, cultural, linguistic, religious, ethnic, racial...
