Greek politicians have their panties in a twist because North Macedonia’s new president left off the "North" part during her inauguration speech, because there is a province of the same name in Greece, and because Greeks have been coasting on their 2000 year old ties to Alexander the Great.
Seriously, getting your panties in a twist over this is silly.
The facts that the Greeks have had their panties in a twist over this for over 30 years is pathetic.
It's not about the non-existent territorial claims of Skopje to Greek territory. It's about grasping at the tenuous connections to Alexander the Great, who's degree of Greekness is still a matter dispute.
