George Papandreou (junior), the leader of the Greek political party PASOK (Panhellenic Socialist Movement), fired his media consultant because of his pro-Macedonian stance. Gligoris Valianatos, who is also known in the Greek public as a human rights activist, during his interview for a TV station "Extra 3", claimed that he stands behind the idea that my country should be left alone to use the name it chose, "Republic of Macedonia". Beside this statement, he also said that there is a Macedonian minority in Greece.
These statements, Papandreou said, are in total contradiction with the official policy of Athens, supported by his opposition party PASOK, which denies the existence of a Macedonian minority and also asks for our name to be changed.
