The issue of who these people are, whether Macedonians or Bulgarized Macedonians, seems to arise frequently, and there is never a definitive answer.
From what I have read and seen, the MPO seem to have influence in the Americas, I have never even heard of them here in Australia but I have been informed that they were/are present although very minimal in influence.
Given that the Macedonians now have a state and church that they can call their own, why are the MPO still seemingly inclined to flirt with their former Bulgarian influences rather than coming home with their brothers and sisters? What is holding them back now?
Many say that the older generations were more Bulgarized but the younger generations have opened their eyes, if that is the case, can anybody on this forum confirm for me what are the relations between people from the Republic of Macedonia that have settled in the Americas and the members of the MPO? Do they see and/or treat each other as kin or foreigners?
Its 2009, the time for half-measures is done. The MPO need to declare once and for all whether or not they consider themselves to be a part of the Macedonian race and nation. The new leader who happens to be the first lady in the top job, Andrea Alusheff, should make a statement and clarify.
Here it seems that they don't associate themselves with the Bugaromani:
In reference to the below Bulgar garbage and propaganda:
And the below sounds even more clearer that they identify as Macedonians and not Bulgarized Macedonians.
I have to ask the question, how the hell are Bulgarized Macedonians even allowed to come close to any leadership position when the above is the official view of the MPO?
Appreciate any information.

About the Macedonian Tribune
The Macedonian Tribune is the oldest Macedonian newspaper in the world published continuously since February 10, 1927. Over the entire course of its existence the Macedonian Tribune has served as a valuable news and reference source on Macedonia, the Macedonian People and Macedonian issues for many governmental institutions and non-governmental organizations in the United States, Canada and throughout the world. Additionally, the Macedonian Tribune provides a vehicle for Macedonian-Americans and Macedonian-Canadians throughout North America to learn more about each other and the achievements, accomplishments, and milestones of Macedonians in the United States and Canada.
The value of the Macedonian Tribune comes from its establishment and publication in the United States thereby allowing Macedonians the ability to voice their opinions on Macedonian issues without fear of any reprisal by the oppressive regimes that ruled and in some cases still rule parts of Macedonia. This inherent value is demonstrated by the fact that the Macedonian Tribune has the distinct honor of being the only Macedonian newspaper to have been banned at the same time in Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Greece for most of the 20th Century.
The Macedonian Tribune has always been a newspaper of unquestionable integrity, supported exclusively by subscriptions and the donations of time, funds, and effort by countless numbers of Macedonian-Americans and Macedonian-Canadians and published by an all-volunteer editorial staff.
Today, the Macedonian Tribune is modern newspaper focused on Macedonian-Americans and Macedonian-Canadians, the Republic of Macedonia and its continuing development as a modern democratic European state, the plight of oppressed Macedonian minorities in Bulgaria and Greece, Macedonian art, music, and culture, and Macedonian events, activities, programs, and efforts throughout the United States and Canada.
