It's almost that time again. Another eurovision, another moron with an opportunity to disgrace Macedonia just a little bit more. This time, he comes from the same city as the country's leading traitor, Zoran Zaev's very own Strumica. His name is Vasil Garvanliev. Here he is with the first lady of the northadonians, Zorica Zaeva, in case there were any doubts about his northadonian credentials.
In 2019, he was the backup for that other northadonian, Tamara.
In 2020, he partnered up with Albanian singer Jonida Maliqi to make a hand gesture resembling a two-headed eagle, which is common among Albanian nationalists, particularly those that live in Macedonia and wish to see the demise of the country.
Last month, his music video for eurovision was released and caused a backlash because of a piece of art in the background that looked like a Bulgarian flag hanging vertically on a wall. He claimed it was a misunderstanding and that the piece of art represented something else, pretending not to realise the obvious resemblance to the flag of our steppe-nostalgic neighbours to the east. Due to public pressure, he had the video edited. Here is a picture of the controversial clip.
Then there was this.
So, whilst there are videos online of Norwegian, Japanese and Turkish kids singing Macedonian songs for fun or due to an ancestral connection, the best the northadonians in Macedonia were able to produce is a moron who despises the country so much that he embraces an imposed identity, placates those who denigrate his people and claims his ancestors were Bulgarians.

But calls from part of the public for the singer to withdraw grew louder when an old video interview that Garvanliev gave for a Bulgarian outlet last year resurfaced – in which he said he held dual Macedonian and Bulgarian citizenship owing to the Bulgarian origins of his grandparents.
