The elections in Serbia are not over. Listen, dear reader, to the announcements from RIK and GIK. The President of Serbia personally testifies that the elections are ongoing. Because if it were otherwise, I guess he would have taken himself off television for a few days. In this way, Aleksandar Vučić seems to capture every second on the screens before the election silence.
It is not easy for a martyr. Although he declared the elections as clean as a tear, more and more information about phantom voters registered at construction sites, in shantytowns and, easily possible, at your address. Vučić has nothing in dispute here. For him, two residences of the same person are a normal thing. If 12 voters want to live on the construction site in Vračar even though they have houses or apartments in Pančevo or Rogatica - what is the problem? And why not squeeze 24 of them into a shanty of several square meters? Who do they bother?
The president of Serbia is being assisted by the police in the post-election campaign. They say that by law the MUP is not obliged to know whether citizens have residence abroad. But people - have you ever signed up anywhere? Do you read the forms you issue yourself? And were any of you at least slightly suspicious when 154 participants in the Belgrade and 121 voters in the parliamentary elections registered at the address of the building owned by Vladimir Mandić? Otherwise - thank you for the question - the progressive in charge of BiH.
That's right, the Bata Gašić police did not stand out. That is why the army arrived by forced march. Out of pure peace and unprovoked, the General Staff asks its "supreme commander". the introduction of a four-month military service. This smoke bomb about mandatory military service, thrown for the umpteenth time, has a limited tactical goal. And that is to at least divert the attention of the public from the phantoms from the shantytowns and from the construction site for a few days. Miserable, cheap and transparent, so leave it.
If the MUP and the army did not listen to the citizens, Vučić is always there to make them happy. How? By recommending to employers that January 8 be a non-working day. But where does this initiative of Vučić come from when it is so much against the people's desire? From the fact that he tries to deaden public and political life, and also reminds citizens that he is the only one who gives and shares. When there's nothing else, it's good to extend the celebration, right?
What comes next? It is certain that the regime will use all kinds of demagoguery, authoritarianism and populism in order to divert attention from the rotten stench of stealing votes. And he is so big that - whether Vučić and the team admit it or not - it pinches the eyes and turns the stomach.
