On Sunday 28, activists of the Greek Nazi party Golden Dawn “welcomed” Macedonian people crossing the border with flyers and slogans like “This is free Macedonia”, “For the gypsies from Skopje we have special stickers for their cars”, “Macedonia is Greek”.
A video of the national Macedonian broadcaster Channel 5 shows what happened at the border.

Global news is my weekly newscast for the MultiKulti radio of CID association (Center for intercultural dialogue). I contribute to the radio of Kumanovo from Prilep, where I’m doing the Evs project “The missing ingredient”.
Beer Festival of Prilep, July 2013.
Half hidden in a bush, a teenager was vomiting the 
too much alcohol he had drunk.
A Roma child, maybe 9 years old, was walking collecting the dozens of cans that people had thrown on the ground, in a plastic bag bigger than him.
When the child saw the vomiting guy, he stopped, looking at him for ten seconds, trying to understand what was going on. His face was astonished, worried, confused. Then, he came back to collect cans.

La terza puntata della rubrica “Cronache macedoni” racconta una notte trascorsa in compagnia di nuovi amici.
Qualcosa non mi torna, quando di notte parcheggiamo l’auto davanti al cancello del monastero. Ma sto imparando che qui, in certe situazioni, è meglio non farsi troppe domande: just do it e c’est la vie sono motti internazionali da ripetersi a mente nella vita macedone. 
E Rampo è uno che agli interrogativi ribatte vago. “Dove andiamo?”, gli avevo chiesto. “In giro”: un tipo loquace, ma non nelle risposte.
Lo avevo capito subito, che ad andare con Rampo la destinazione rimane ignota. Lui, e l’amico Lupcko, li ho conosciuti al mezzodì d’una domenica, sul sentiero per il monastero di Treskavec, acciambellato tra le rocce montagnose a quasi quattro ore di cammino da Prilep.
This is one of the articles I wrote for “Myg”, the Magazine for youth generation of Info Front – Prilep association. I tried to explain the concept of the ecological footprint.
When we walk on the sand, or when the soles of our shoes are 
wet, if we look behind us we see that we have left tracks.
We can’t note it everyday (since fortunately it’s not always raining or unfortunately we are not always on the beach!) but we should keep in mind that everywhere we go and everything we do, we left footprints of our passage.
This means that the humankind, considered as a whole, has its own footprint on the life of the Earth, composed by each individual’s life.
Myg, the “Magazine for youth generation” of Info Front association we have worked for in the last weeks, is almost ready to be published.
Here I post the interview I made to Simon Bidjoski, a 70 years old man who, after the retirement, continues to do his hobby. He’s a craftsman of metal, it can be said.
When I pass in front of his workshop I use to pet his little dog. This is how we got to know.
Now Simon and I are friend. When we meet, he always asks me if I want a coffe. Since he’s a very nice person, I thought he had to be the first to be interviewed for the column “People of Prilep” I write for the magazine.
La seconda puntata della rubrica “Cronache macedoni” racconta il viaggio a Sarajevo per il training di accoglienza ai nuovi volontari Sve nei Balcani.

La pistola alla cint
ola e i gradi sulla spalla mi fanno percepire un senso di ostilità, sua nei miei confronti e viceversa. Non capisco perché al volontario francese di fianco a me non abbia chiesto nulla, mentre a me spara una raffica di domande, e chi sono e cosa faccio e dove abito. “Ma cosa vuoi da me?”, gli vorrei ribattere. Va bene, ho l’orecchino e non mi rado spesso, però non credo di avere una faccia pericolosa, ecco.
The Italian actress, playwright and political activist Franca Rame died on 29 May, aged 84.
Italy lost a person who fought for the women’s rights through theatre, and the best known actor Dario Fo lost his wife, who he called his muse when he received the Nobel prize for literature in 1997.
The couple met in 1950, and since then they shared their life and works, so that some observers suggested that the Nobel should have been awarded to both.
Rame was born already actress, since she made her first appearance on stage in her mother’s arms, when she was only eight days old.
“Cronache macedoni” è la rubrica che scrivo per un mensile dell’Oltrepò pavese con la speranza di fare conoscere lo Sve ad altri giovani. Puoi scaricare la prima parte in pdf – il racconto dell’arrivo a Prilep – oppure leggerla di seguito.
Il viaggio da Skopje alla cittadina di Prilep si snoda verso sud per due ore e mezza di un bus che sembra avere rubato il motore all’aereo, tanto è il rumore che rimbomba. Ma gli occhi mi si chiudono, contro ogni tentativo di rimanere sveglio per osservare il paesaggio sconosciuto scorrere al di fuori. Faccio in tempo a chiedermi se i sacchetti di plastica appesi ai sedili sono espressione d’una pulizia maniacale dell’autista oppure d’una stomachevole tortuosità stradale, e mi addormento.
