The Macedonian Patriotic Organization celebrated one of its most successful and meaningful days in its recent history. On the second and most important day of the IGO's Congress, which is being held in the United States, the party's Central Committee passed three important decisions - permission to find funding and resources to digitize the MPO's archive, which will be handled by the Pirin Chapter, permission to publish articles in the newspaper "Makedonska Tribuna" in pure Bulgarian, and changes to the statutes, which read, "In 1922, Macedonian Bulgarians founded the MPO."
A new Central Committee and a new President of the organization were also elected. Matthew Stefanov, son of the outgoing President Nick Stefanov, was elected President of the Macedonian Patriotic Organization.
The largest expatriate organization of Bulgarians in the world celebrated its 101st anniversary in Columbus, Ohio. BGNES is the media covering all the events from the scene.
The MPO was founded by refugees from all parts of Macedonia in Fort Wayne, Indiana, back in 1922. For 101 years, the organization has held its own Congress, and this year the event is being celebrated from September 1 to 3./BGNES
