Two days ago, Prime Minister Krivokapić informed us that we live in a time of “rapid development of our country”, and he also announced “information that will happen next year” regarding the expansion of foreign investments?! This “rapid development” is indicated by the following facts – in the mandate of this government, the state borrowed an additional billion euros, the number of unemployed citizens increased by about 10,000, the prices of basic foodstuffs increased by about 70 percent, fuel prices increased by 25 percent, while earnings remained the same. But the endangered citizens will get two and a half liters of oil, and we also bought two planes without engines, which are currently being painted. Judge for yourself whether this is a “rapid development” or a rapid lie.
True, unlike farmers, for example, MPs from the Democrats and URA are generally delighted with the achievements of Krivokapic's government in the economic sphere, but also in other areas of life. MP Konatar thus accused the “cave nationalists on both sides” of waging a terrible campaign against the “prosperity” brought to us by the Government. And that “welfare” is, for now, measured by the biggest drop in gross domestic product in the first quarter in Europe – of 6.4 percent!
The prime minister of the first “real European government”, unlike the previous one, which was “Chinese”, accused the retail chains for rising prices, which, as he said, “should be won” by bringing in a foreign one?! Just as the Chinese debt will be “won” by Spaić's hedging arrangement, so that the Chinese will regularly pay the agreed principal and interest, with additional costs for fees to various consultants and commissions to some banks. The Prime Minister himself best illustrated what kind of experts these are when he said that they could not find a contract for the construction of the highway for three months, even though that contract was published in the Official Gazette in 2016!
Compulsive lying, as a type of mental disorder, seems to have become a constant with the Prime Minister and some of his associates. Krivokapic insists that he was ready to be arrested if he signed a fundamental agreement with the Serbian Church, although neither the police nor the prosecution, ie those who were supposed to arrest him, have any idea about that. A typhoon in Japan further traumatized Krivokapić, so now he trusts his “reliable source”, as he told reporters, 98 percent?! Nobody trusts him anymore.
A sudden illness on an official trip to Bulgaria (what will happen there?), prevented Minister Bratic from explaining in the Assembly the motives for the illegal “slaughter” of school principals and the express appointment of pro-Chetnik acting directors. Objective reasons for postponing this topic at the plenum and in the parliamentary committee were respected, but the statement of MP Martinović from the Democrats was especially interesting. Which one?
In Nikšić, we watched a new episode of the political mimicry of the Democrats and URA. In order not to have to decide on the dismissal of the Chetnik fan and genocide denier in Srebrenica, the president of the municipality, Marko Kovacevic, they simply removed that item from the agenda. That is how the wolf was left full, and in the local parliament all the sheep are still numbered.
