→History
During the Yugoslav period, Macedonian ethnic identity was evident in that most of Macedonia's Slavic population identified themselves as Macedonians, while several minority groups, in particular ethnic Albanians, retained their own distinct political culture and language. Although interethnic tensions simmered under Yugoslav authority and during the first decade of its independence, the country avoided ethnically motivated conflict until several years after independence. Ethnic minority grievances, which had erupted on occasion (1995 and 1997), rapidly began to gain political currency in late 2000, leading many in the ethnic Albanian community in Macedonia to question their minority protection under, and participation in, the government. Tensions erupted into open hostilities in Macedonia in February 2001, when a group of ethnic Albanians near the Kosovo border carried out armed provocations that soon escalated into an insurgency. Purporting to fight for greater civil rights for ethnic Albanians in Macedonia, the group seized territory and launched attacks against government forces. Many observers ascribed other motives to the so-called National Liberation Army (NLA), including support for criminality and the assertion of political control over affected areas. The insurgency spread through northern and western Macedonia during the first half of 2001. Under international mediation, a cease-fire was brokered in July 2001, and the government coalition was expanded in July 2001 to form a grand coalition which included the major opposition parties.

The expanded coalition of ruling ethnic Macedonian and ethnic Albanian political leaders, with facilitation by U.S. and European Union (EU) diplomats, negotiated and then signed the Ohrid Framework Agreement in August 2001, which brought an end to the fighting. The agreement called for implementation of constitutional and legislative changes, which lay the foundation for improved civil rights for minority groups. The Macedonian parliament adopted the constitutional changes outlined in the accord in November 2001. The grand coalition disbanded following the signing of the Ohrid Framework Agreement and the passage of new constitutional amendments. A coalition led by Prime Minister Georgievski, including DPA and several smaller parties, completed its parliamentary term.

In September 2002 elections, an SDSM-led pre-election coalition won half of the 120 seats in parliament. Branko Crvenkovski was elected Prime Minister in coalition with the ethnic Albanian Democratic Union for Integration (DUI) party and the Liberal-Democratic Party (LDP).

Local elections were held in March–April 2005 under a new territorial reorganization plan that consolidated the overall number of Macedonia’s municipalities and created a number of ethnically-mixed municipalities in which ethnic Albanian populations were dominant. The process of decentralization began in the new municipalities in July 2005 and is continuing.

The July 2006 parliamentary elections resulted in a VMRO-DPMNE-led government assuming power, in coalition with DPA, NSDP, and several smaller parties. The new government, which was confirmed in office by a parliamentary vote on August 26, 2006, stated its commitment to completing Framework Agreement implementation and reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing NATO and EU membership.

In April 2013 the [[Foundation for Open Society]] Macedonia (FOSM) was awarded 18 [[USAID]] grants by the [[US State Dept]].;<ref>http://soros.org.mk/en/Home/NewsAndActivity?newsID=660&catID=7&pageIndex=1&month=10&year=0&additionalID=73</ref> FOSM is a Soros-run foundation. Recipients of grants in Macedonia are known as the 'Soros army'. Soros was later accused of wanting to destroy Macedonia, its name, language, and identity."<ref>http://katehon.com/article/george-soros-wants-destroy-macedonia-its-name-language-and-identity</ref> Obama and Soros have been accused of interfering in Macedonia's [[democracy|democratic]] process.<ref>http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/macedonia-forms-anti-soros-movement-01-18-2017</ref><ref>http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2017/02/u-s-gives-soros-groups-millions-destabilize-macedonias-conservative-govt/</ref><ref><small>In Google translation the article reads (''boldening in original, excerpted''):"...Washington has operated continuously through USAID, the US government agency that works to "promote American interests" and whose goal is "to support US foreign policy (...) expand stable free societies, create markets and business partners for the United States".
For about 20 years the USAID action was altogether balanced, ruled by a sense of realism and limited to create spheres of influence in the country in line with the legitimate demands of geopolitical America. '''But after Obama entered the White House, things have changed.'''<br>
'''SOROS COMING!'''
On February 27, 2012, the Open Society of George Soros has entered into an agreement with the Government of the United States, more than 2.5 million dollars to make in Macedonia the Civil Society Project, the democratization floor of the small Balkan nation through a series of Macedonian NGOs and associations. In 2014, the agreement was expanded to four other civil organizations (all related to the Open Society or funded by it), for a total investment of '''5 million dollars from USAID and $500,000 in the same Soros Foundation.'''
The data, figures, associations and activities, are published in [https://stopsoros.mk/detailed-overview-usaid-support-george-soros-led-groups-macedonia/ a very precise report drawn up by a group of Macedonian journalists gathered under the name "STOP SOROS"] report denouncing the collusion between the US government and the financier and shows the complexity of the connections and of the plots.
The report explains how the '''organizations that have received millions of dollars from the US government, through the Open Society, are all emanations of the Macedonian [[left-wing]] party SDSM''' (Social Democratic Union of Macedonia) derivation of the old [[Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] [[Communist Party]] era; and it is no accident that from 2015 to 2016 '''these organizations coordinated by the SDSM, were the protagonists of the protests and riots of the "colored revolution"''' that shook Macedonia leading to the resignation of the Conservative government in office and to early elections; clashes led by leaders like [[LGBT]] activist Pavle Bogoevski and even today the parliamentary left, in the photo portrait with a t-shirt ironic that says, 'Soros-army'.
Now Macedonia is crossed by a serious political crisis without a government majority with ethnic tensions that begin to burst with the [[Albania]]n minority. In short, a perfect creative chaos similar to many other artificially created by Geroge Soros in Eastern Europe.
'''In Macedonia the scheme is very similar to the scheme in [[Ukraine]]''' (where among other things we remember, the role of Soros is well documented)
Even the characters are the same as Victoria Nuland, responsible for the Eurasian policies of Obama, who during the [[color Revolution]] she traveled to Macedonia "to meet civil activists and encourage them to continue their work" exactly what she did during Maidan.
(For those who wish to learn who is Victoria Nuland, and what role she played in the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, we refer to this video editorial two years ago, made for ''Il Giornale'')<br>
'''STOP SOROS'''
In a long and complex analysis of ''The [[American Spectator]]':, Victor Gaetan , explained how the attempts at destabilization of Macedonia by Soros has commenced, even in 1995, but are made only when '''the arrival of Obama to the White House given away for free (and American money) to infiltration strategy of the Open Society.'''
Cvetin Chilimanov, journalist MIA (Macedonian Information Agency) and Vice President of STOP SOROS, explained how the goal of the USA/Soros is not help the Macedonian nation but to seize power in the political forces of the left [[radical]]s.
And it is evident also in Macedonia (as in the rest of Europe) '''the left is perfectly functional [[globalist]] ideology that Soros wants to impose in the West: migration, dissolution of [[nation state]]s, disarticulation of the fabric of traditional values of the Royal Society (and not ideological).''' On the other hand, Macedonia remains a culturally and socially conservative country, whose population is strongly linked to the values of [[Orthodox Christianity]], with public opinion in a clear majority opposed to issues such as [[abortion]] and [[gay marriage]] (among the most expensive issues George Soros).<br>
'''SOMETHING IS CHANGING (?)'''
Financing Operations Use/Soros to the Macedonian NGOs have continued even in recent times, and many are still active.
Not only that, but according to Gaetan an additional funding of $9.5 million was awarded a year ago at the Open Society and entrusted to Macedonian organizations, if it were not blocked by the new Secretary of State [[Tillerson]], appointed by Trump.
'''But this is a sign that maybe something is changing.''' Strengthened by Trump victory, thousands of Macedonians took to the streets to ask the new US administration the end of the financial support of the Open Society and the American ambassador's removal as the very executor of the Soros project...http://blog.ilgiornale.it/rossi/2017/04/04/macedonia-di-soros/?repeat=w3tc</ref>
