Rainbow/Vinozhito, the political party of the Macedonian minority in Greece, had to cancel its congress twice because of threats received from Greek Neo-Nazi organizations. Greece is notorious for being openly racist against its ethnic minorities. Greek citizens, media and politicians alike constantly attack minority rights advocates and support its government's non-recognition and discrimination against its large Macedonian minority. It is a disgrace to the European Union and the international community that the very country that claims to be the "birthplace of democracy" allows, and actually supports, the racist policies of its many fascist and Neo-Nazi organizations.
