Dear all,
or, if you want to write it correctly (without a shred of irony, let alone sarcasm), write it according to the latest European standards of political correctness: My dear*.
This text will be a bit, as they say, boring. It’s because I want the simple messages of this text to be presented in the simplest way, so that there’s as little room for misinterpretation as possible.
Therefore.
“Minority government“ is not the right government for Montenegro in the EU.
It’s, as I’ve already said, the government for Montenegro’s accession to the Open Balkans and the government for signing the so-called ‘Fundamental Agreement’. The first is a euphemism for the end of EU integration. The second represents the euphemism for, as it was once said, and today is no longer allowed to say, treason.
No, Montenegro won’t enter the EU in the near future. Not even after it.
Yes, the EU is still going to tell us they want us in.
No, the EU doesn’t want us.
Yes, “sovereignist parties” will do that to Montenegro, exactly those that “held” the referendum on May 21.
Yes. they’re going to annul the only best thing they’ve done so far.
Some parties will do it as their own past wants them to do it. The others will do it in the name of their future.
Yes, they’ll ruin their own, so-called historical heritage.
Yes, they’ll do it because human beings are not involved in politics due to “historical heritage”, but because of money, sex and power.
And everything in the world has to do with sex, except sex itself. Which is a matter of power.
Yes, these parties will rhetorically oppose the reasons they entered/supported the government.
Yes, they will rhetorically be against the Open Balkans, and in addition to the agreement with the Church of Serbia, they will also insist on an agreement with the CPC.
Yes, under these conditions, the CPC will only sign the agreement if it’s corrupt.
No, it won’t change anything.
Yes, the moment those parties agreed that decisions in the government should be made by a majority comprising those who, apart from the fact they’ll vote for it, genuinely want the Open Balkans and the Fundamental Agreement, everything was over.
Yes, every future opposition to it is just a lie for the naive.
Yes, the moment when Gabriel Escobar said that the Open Balkans was the fourth pillar of American policy for the Western Balkans, it was all over.
Yes, it was over before that.
Yes, it would have been much better if sovereignist parties had genuinely opposed it.
No, it wasn’t possible. And yes, it wasn’t possible because of money, sex and power – the things driving the world – not ideas and ideals.
Yes, those parties, like human beings in general, have their own strong values. Yes, if those values are the problem, so what: they have others.
Yes: shame on them for what they’ve done and what they’ll do.
Yes, I’m ashamed, and shame on us because I didn’t – we didn’t succeed in preventing them.
Yes: this is the breakdown of our generation. No, this is not the end.
Yes, they will encounter real resistance at the moment they think they’ve completed everything,
Yes, everything great is in disagreement, in the political and intellectual struggle against the force that humiliates and tramples.
Because after us, others will come. Better and braver than us.
