(10 months ago)Northern Macedonia's first Deputy Prime Minister, Izet Mexhit, has reacted sharply to last night's scandal in the basketball match between northern Macedonia and Romania, held at the Kumanovo sports gym, which has become a scene of xenophobia and ethnic hatred. Repeated Koreans with racist and anti-Albanian content [...]
Repeated cases of racist and anti-Albanian content were clearly heard by a part of the public, without any interference from the authorities present in the hall.
“Let the cursed Albanians understand, the Macedonian name will not disappear, clean, clean, clean Macedonia” was one of the repeated calls with threatening and disfellowshipped tones, outlining the hate-filled atmosphere in the Tribonne.
“object sharply to racist and anti-Albanian calls heard during the basketball match. Disgusting words and hate songs have no place in the state and our society”, Medge wrote in a Facebook response.
He described these calls as a direct attack on the principles of co-existence and equality that should characterize northern Macedonia.
“fascist calls do not represent any of us and dare not repeat again in”, Mejit stressed, demanding self-control and institutional responsibility.
According to Albanian media in Skopje, even more disturbing is the fact that these calls have been made in the presence of top state officials: Prime Minister Hristian Mickoski, Kumanovo Chairman Maksim Dimitrievski, Foreign Affairs Minister Panco Toshkovski, Deputy Prime Minister Ivan Stoilkovovic and others, who gave no sign of reaction or effort to stop this dangerous language.
In addition to racist choirs directed against Albanians, calls with scandalous content such as “were heard during the match. The good Albanian is the late Albanian” and “Gas Chamber for Albanians”. /Periscope/
