Masked nationalists claiming affiliation to Greek neo-Nazi group Golden Dawn say they disrupted a municipal exhibition of artworks by a North Macedonia painter in Thessaloniki. In a video posted on YouTube, the Golden Dawn Youth Front says it “banned” the exhibition by artist Sergej Andreevski in the Thessaloniki suburb of Kalamaria. The video apparently shot Wednesday shows several masked and hooded men marching into the municipal gallery to confront Andreevski, whom they accused of posting irredentist material online and “casting doubt on the Greekness of our homeland.”

About ten black-clad individuals from a far-right group barged into a municipal gallery in Thessaloniki exhibiting the work of an artist from Macedonia. They harassed the artist and the staff and ordered them to pull down the exhibited pieces. The municipal gallery Remezzo in the Kalamaria, Greece district was exhibiting drawings and paintings of renowned Macedonian artist Sergej Andreevski. The show opened on April 21 and was expected to last until April 29. The intruders, members of the far-right neo-Nazi Golden Dawn’s youth wing, allegedly shouted that the artist had no right to be there and questioned his nationality. “You can either be a Slav or a Greek. There are no supposed non-Greek Macedonians,” one of the intruders is heard saying in a video the group posted on YouTube.
