During July 2020, a Facebook profile named “Marjan Kamilovski” posted a photograph of a person holding a firearm, with a threatening text with vulgar vocabulary, saying that the public critique towards one of the newly elected MPs will not be tolerated. Another profile motivated by this shared publication, named “Sekula Vojvoda fan club”, aggressively and insultingly addressed the journalists, calling them “severjani” and “ballistic dogs”, after which other users continue to send threats and hate speech.
