After all that has been written and happened about Skopje, some points may be useful.
The UN Charter begins with “We the people of the United Nations" and Article 2 of the Charter states that: "The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its members».
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights in article 21 states: “The will of the people shall be the basis of the government's authority…”
Article 1 of the Constitution of Greece states: "The foundation of the state is popular sovereignty."
And the supporters of Jerusalem are surprised by asking those who deal with the Skopje issue in general and the "Prespa agreement" in particular, leaders, media, NGOs: With what rationale, with what logic do some (fortunately few) still support it, ignoring the above as and the events that preceded it, while the vast majority characterizes it as "shameful and treacherous"? Is that an exaggeration?
Did the "authorities" respect the popular will, the popular verdict when all the events, rallies of millions (and not only hundreds of thousands that the "authorities" tirelessly claimed), proved the people's opposition to the "agreement"? Simply, they compromised unprofitably with a spirit of servitude and volunteerism. And was there genuine agreement in the jumble of overtly or covertly competing ethnicities in Skopje?
Let's recall - epigrammatically - some important events that marked the disappointing result. What did the Greek officials" do here and the Greeks of the Diaspora when the then spineless "friends" of Greece - the US leaders, forgetting their democratic ideals and their correct reaction to the attempt of Tito and Stalin to create a "Macedonian" state (Minister of Foreign Affairs Stetinious), they agreed, betraying Greece, to give Skopje the name "Macedonia", which is a usurpation of the ancient, most Greek and glorious name, as is known to those who know History, and eminent foreign Scientists (even Skopians and .a.); They retreated, they compromised at the expense of their Homeland (as well as in other national issues). It is known what the then Greek leaders did, without exceptions, in the context of a vicious circle of contradictory statements and actions, even though some objective foreigners had warned them. Enough of the American's dramatic statement to the Greek "authorities", Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee LEE HAMILTON to realize the tragic mistakes of Greek leaders, media, NGOs, etc. : "YOU COMPROMISED IN LIGHTNING AND WE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO HELP YOU. YOU LEFT US SEXUALLY WITH YOUR RETIREMENT"!
What was the dark and unacceptable role of the deplorable Special Representative of the UN, and the Greek Representative to the UN, who did not dare, as they should have, to propose another name that does not contain the name "Macedonia"? They forgot that an entire Great Britain retreated over the issue of the Bretagne region in France and called United Kingdom? And Greece retreated into an "extremist state"?
Finally, Skopje was admitted to the UN under the name "former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" (fYROM). And the tragic "Prespa agreement" followed, which proved beyond any doubt the tragic compromise, subservience, voluntarism of the then rulers , which the Epaiontes characterize - and rightly so - as "shameful and treacherous". And, unfortunately, the subsequent rulers also compromised and we reached the recent well-organized, provocative event at the Athens Conservatory, and the "fascist" ban on the anti-demonstration of serious NGOs with distinguished members, Ambassadors, Professors, Generals, etc. And - most sadly - the media, without exception, ignored the demonstration! The conclusion to the Greek "wise men"!
As for Skopje itself, an artificial state without strong foundations, without a future, it plays the role of Judas, the provocateur to contribute to the "divide and rule" in the "Silk Bin", the sad Balkans. And we saw the vicious circle of statements and actions of their leaders, which cancel the "agreement", and which, anyway, must be canceled for all the reasons we mentioned above and according to the opinions of prominent Greek and foreign personalities. Here is Rhodes and here is the "jump" in front of the "cliff"!
"Freedom needs virtue and courage"!
HELLENICISM UNITED NEVER DEFEATED!
