Emilia Sterjova, a young Macedonian Australian recently got elected as the youngest Mayor in the history of Australia. She was elected Mayor of Whittlesea in Melbourne.
Barely a month after she got elected, extremist Greeks are already sending her threats and trying their best to get her sacked from her new role.
This came after she attended a Macedonian language graduation and danced the Oro while holding the Macedonian flag
A photo of this was later uploaded to her Facebook page and received huge negative attention from Greek racists who see this as somehow violating the Prespa agreement that we are apparently meant to be following here in Australia as well.
Just to top everything off Emilia got death and rape threats which resulted in her having to hire security for future events.
It's imperative we as a community here in Australia fight against this blatant racism and attack, on not just Emilia but all Macedonians. It was great to hear that many Macedonians were in attendance to support her in the most recent council meeting where the topic was brought up.
The issue seems to be ongoing and will be discussed once again in the council meeting in February.
