A politically sensitive festival is taking place in a remote village in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia which is organized and sponsored by the local VMRO-DPMNE government.
Residents of Vevcani use their pagan celebration to publicly vent their anti-Hellenic sentiments by staging events like mock funerals of the Hellenic Republic, the burning of the Greek flag and the singing of racist, anti-Greek songs.
From the video screen shot below, Greece is intentionally referred to by the Arabic term "Yunanistan" written in English as a racial slur and Hellas spelled Hell-Ass.
