In addition to juggling vaccines, hospitals, factories, highways and assassinations of himself, Aleksandar Vučić has had a lot of luck so far.
Lately, however, it seems as if the wheel of progressive happiness has begun to squeak.
First of all, they have his protector in Berlin Angela Merkel replaced by the Reds and those boring Greens like Viola von Kramon, who constantly nag something about human rights, the rule of law, media freedom, Chinese polluters and Russian tanks. Donald Trump, who hands out pens and decanters, left the White House, and Joseph Biden came, who sees the only solution in the "mutual recognition of Kosovo and Serbia". Christopher Hill, who held Slobodan Milosevic while Holbrook twisted his arm.
Under two, the US Federal Reserve has announced several times due to the high and stubborn inflation in the US raising the reference interest rate, which means that there will no longer be cheap loans for refinancing maturing debts, nor cheap new borrowing, and debts in the national currency of developing countries, which includes Serbia with over 30 billion dollars of accumulated debt, will become more expensive due to the strengthening of the American dollars. In Serbia, too, inflation is growing so much and so much makes everything more expensive, that even Pink doesn't help.
In the third place of the change of lucky circumstances for the progressive government is the wet snow that paralyzed all six blocks of TENT, and drove everyone out into the open. ten years of silence in the energy system under the leadership of baker Milorad Grčić and his team. Before the election on April 3, someone will probably calculate how much Serbia has paid for the lack of electricity until then, perhaps in piglets, instead of dollars, if we freeze the price of a kilogram of roasted pig at 1350 dinars. The question for a million pigs is what will happen to Serbia's energy system, if we are hit by an ice wave with heavy snowfall.
On top of all that, some Serbian greens, in the progressive jargon "fake environmentalists", blocked roads throughout Serbia on two occasions, stopped Rio Tinto's raid on Serbian lithium and forced Vučić to relent and repair the damage. The demonstrations were led by some new, young protesters without a trace of fear and with excellent organizational skills, whose heads have not been blackmailed until now. Vučić was forced to give in, and some elderly protesters, who now lead some political parties, were surrounded by scenes that showed that somewhere in the depths of Serbian society there is still energy ready to pour out into the streets, only that they have not yet been able to they pulled it out.
Last, but not least, there are, in fifth place, the opposition political parties that finally managed to profile themselves in three recognizable columns: green-left, Đilas-Jeremić-Lutovac & Co column and the Patriotic Block led by Dvere. So what does the dissatisfier, in the progressive jargon "ungrateful", like. This time, he will have a choice and the opportunity to choose something that he likes, or at least does not irritate him too much, which makes it look like a higher turnout of those fifty percent of citizens, who abstained due to general disgust, and will certainly not give their vote to the Serbian Progressive party and its president.
