One day after receiving the cold shoulder at the NATO Summit in Chicago, where it was reiterated that Skopje will not join the Alliance if it does not first resolve the name dispute with Greece, the nationalist government of Gruevski decided to strike back and it raised the statue of King Philip of Macedonia in front of its Ministry of Transport and Communications.
Knowing very well, that if they baptized the statue "King Philip of Macedonia" then they would be breaching the interim agreement, the FYROM government instead named the state "Warrior". The same was done with the statue of Alexander the Great, which is apparently called "Warrior on Horseback"
As seen in the video, the statue of Philip was placed on a pedestal 15 meters high. Its creator is sculptor Stevanosvka Valentina, who had also worked on the statue of Alexander the Great as well as all the other art works in the so-called "Gate of Macedonia".
Despite being warned on numerous occasions to stop these provocations, the Gruevski government is continuing to raise Greek statues, buildings with Greek architecture and anything it can so it can further poison the minds of its citizens into thinking that they are real descendants of Macedonia. What he hasn't done, however, is channel the money it is using to do all of these projects to its people and create jobs, and eradicate poverty which today plagues some 32% of the population.
