Ideology and goals

The MLUM was a nationalist, patriotic, anti-Yugoslav and an anti-communist movement.[5][6][7] The movement also described itself as a revolutionary organization.[1] The main goal of the MLUM was the secession of SR Macedonia from Yugoslavia, and the ultimate creation of an independent Macedonian state, that incorporated SR Macedonia, Aegean Macedonia and Pirin Macedonia.[4][7]
