| Greek Bloggers come to the rescue |
| Wednesday, 18 February 2009 | |
Around thirty Greek activists for human rights arrived today at the Psychiatric Clinic "Bardovci" in Skopje to show their support for Vladimir Gligorov (MiNa isn't sure of his real name, he goes by 4 different names). The Greeks claimed they knew Vladimir because they blogged with him. No police around the hospital, nor people from the Guiness Group of Records to note what seems to be the oldest group of bloggers ever assembled. The elderly Greek activists have said they have no political background despite the information they were sent and supported by every major political party in Athens. Their trip was paid for by the "Political Renaissance" party, whose chief Paptemelis complained in Brussels that the 'founder of Slav-Hellenic Association' was jailed for his pro Greek views. At the moment, the Greek activists are hanging around the hospital, being denied entry. "This is a psychiatric institution, we don't let anyone, especially a large group of people just come in here. These people need to get permission from the Ministry of Health first." says the head of Bardovci, Pavlina Vaskova. MiNa finds, Gligorov's family is especially upset that Greece has used their ill son for political goals, and the fact that Greeks are visiting him. MoI has no comment on this, while the Hospital says this is the third time in the last five years Gligorov's family had contacted the hospital and the police asking for help. //02.18.09 MiNa |
