Good morning! The circus continues. The Civic Movement URA, with its satellites, sabotaged the agreement by providing “verbal” support to Lekic.
Verbally or seriously?
I don’t know if it’s synchronicity, or our prime minister and president are telepathically connected, but Djukanovic seemed to have predicted what happened yesterday in his last week’s interview for RSE, when he, asked about the pro-European Vucic, responded with a counter-question: “do you mean verbally or seriously?”.
So, with the President’s logic or method, and by using the data that Dragan Krapovic presented to us, a part of MPs gave their support to Lekic by their signatures – that is, they were serious, while the MPs of URA (with satellites from CIVIS and SNP) gave their verbal support.
Like in bad detective novels, when they conclude there’s no evidence if there are no weapons, URA thought it had carried out the perfect crime by leaving no written trail of it. We should remember that URA invented verbal “support” when it didn’t come to ratify Montenegro’s accession to NATO, but supported it on a verbal level.
Maybe it’s a bad analogy, but then again, low-quality detective novels come to my mind – when the murder is done with a sharp icicle and it melts. Perhaps URA should have signed its support to Lekic with the disappearing ink, it would have been more convincing. No guns, no crime. I feel like swearing now because of a circus we’re witnessing, so please imagine that I really cursed.
All in all, after reading the expert opinion of Professor Blazic, it was clear to me that Abazovic, together with Jokovic, by not signing the mandate for Lekic, left room for Djukanovic to call the elections last night. Dragan Krapovic foresaw it, when he said that if Djukanovic decided to turn a bling eye to their demonstration of existence of the majority of 41 MPs supporting Lekic, “colleagues who took this position (on verbal support, ed.)”, would have to take “responsibility for such an outcome of the event”.
Therefore, the Democrats, who are otherwise legally correct and more than politically aware, understand that the Constitution gives freedom and arbitrariness to president to decide whether to give someone a mandate or not. According to the Constitution, he is the one who gives the mandate after consultations with “representatives of political parties represented in the Assembly; two judges of the Constitutional Court and the defender of human rights and freedoms”. As some have refused to have consultations with him, and as they are now trying to create legal violence in such a frivolous way, he has every right to ignore them, in the same way they ignored him.
For ignoring the circus performers and calling for elections – he has not only a legal justification, but a moral obligation as well, because the political and economic instability caused by this group of charlatans not only threatens the European path of Montenegro, but also its independence, which may not be side effect of their frivolity, but also its goal. It’s just that such a scenario requires someone a little more dexterous and clever. Maybe the one who put them together.
Therefore, let’s have elections – let’s return the mandate to citizens and let them choose what they want to do with Montenegro – prosperity, stability, the road to Europe, or constant tensions and instability, the economic and social crisis, integrations with Serbia and being dependant of it.
That’s all for today. Until tomorrow.
Kind regards,
Ljubomir Filipovic, CdM observer
