Ouranio Toxo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ouranio Toxo or Vinožito ( Greek : Ουράνιο Τόξο ; Macedonian : Виножито / Vinožito - rainbow ) is a small party that represents the Slav-Macedonian minority in Greece and stands for the protection and observance of the minority rights of the Slavic Macedonians in northwestern Greece. She is a member of the European Free Alliance .

After news spread in Greece that the Ouranio Toxo party was politically supported and financed by the Soros Foundation and Macedonia , attacks were carried out on the party building in Florina , which resulted in minor property damage. Meetings of the party have been the target of protests by the Greek right-wing and nationalists who accuse it of Slav-Macedonian nationalism and separatist tendencies, among other things .

Ouranio Toxo did not take part in the parliamentary elections in 2004 and 2007 , in the European elections in June 2009 the party received 4530 votes (0.09%), of which 1195 in the prefecture of Florina and 2594 in the Macedonia region . The party won so few votes that it did not run for the state parliament later that year. After the constitutional amendment of 1995, brought about by pressure from Greece, Macedonia is no longer allowed to take care of the affairs of the Macedonian minority in neighboring countries or to interfere in them.
