It's too early for blame, too late for resignations

It will be "political responsibilities", announced the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and the Prime Minister Milos Vucevic since fourteen lives were crushed by concrete in Novi Sad.

The Prime Minister added that "political responsibility" will be decided with a cool head, and not under "chasing" from social networks and in order to satisfy "the majority". That is his vocabulary for this occasion.

The Prime Minister must have been versed in court games - that's why he is where he is. But otherwise, he doesn't understand anything.

Resignation, to be worth more than nothing, must be a moral and personal act. Only such a resignation, such "political responsibility", can be counted as a plus for someone.

There is time for guilt.

Someone sprayed something around the canopy, it fell and killed people. Whether the weights were left without support, whether the eaves were dilapidated or the canopy was overloaded, what disturbed the statics - all this can be determined, if desired.

And that matter is not really resolved either on social networks or in interviews of engineers and architects who have no insight into the project, let alone the works, and they all speak roughly and in general.

Therefore, there is time for guilt, although there will also be a need for a watchful eye of the public so that the wolf does not eat the donkey and nothing happens to anyone.

There is no more time for resignations. Whoever did not submit it on Friday afternoon, possibly on Saturday - and it is no one - is already late. Now he doesn't even have to bear it.

Let me just ask the boss.

A moral and personal act, then. With moral responsibility, there is no weighing, discussions, dealings and waiting - whether you feel it or not. If it is felt, a personal decision is immediately made to resign - again without asking the boss if the resignation is allowed.

Past work should not play a role here. For such a personal act - at the moment when a person is overwhelmed by a sense of moral responsibility - it is not necessary to be angelically pure until then.

Branko Ruzic for example, last May he personally and irrevocably left, even though the order from the top was that the front should not give way, that no one should leave.

The bargaining begins.

Since no one left after the canopy fell, there is no need to leave. At least the citizens know what they are up to.

Because, talking about the fact that "political responsibility" will still be considered, the prime minister is literally telling the people that there will be behind-the-scenes trading, haggling, weighing whose head should supposedly fall.

And in fact - we already had those examples - to open a golden parachute for a scapegoat for a soft landing.

It will not be a moral or personal act, but political trade and crisis PR. Just continuing to defend a system where the canopies fall on their heads.
