A rally demonstrating against the change of the name of FYROM was staged by around 5,000 people in Skopje, ending up with burning the Greek flag.
In his rebuttal in the debate on the name of Macedonia in the Thessaloniki City Council, Mayor Yannis Boutaris set out the issue of renaming the Thessaloniki airport, currently named Macedonia.
The Greek government suddenly decided yesterday to leave behind the backdrop of the rally in Syntagma Square to safeguard the name of Macedonia, and instead updated a scandalous case, concerning the Novartis pharma company.
