Night of shattered illusions

One part of the opposition can calmly say goodbye to the citizens, and others goodbye, see you after the EXP, because until the new round of billions within this megalomaniac project, which should be completed in 2027, is reversed, there will be no more elections.

And make no mistake: when the elections are held again one day, they will be held under the same progressive conditions. Gentlemen with unlimited power in their hands are not crazy to put the noose of fair and honest elections around their swollen necks.

Boycotters can continue to dream of some kind of reversal that will fall from the sky or arrive as a DHL shipment from Washington.

And that, based on the results of the regular local and repeated extraordinary Belgrade elections, they are jubilant on the principle that the neighbor's cow is milking, because yesterday their colleagues from the former "Serbia against violence" were honest about Vučić's party-state machinery. Until the last breath, they argued why they should not vote, in order to prove that they were right, although the idea of ​​a boycott had long since failed.

It's as if the desire for the "disobedient" parties and groups that participated in the elections to fail ingloriously was greater than the desire to break through the ramparts of the progressive fortress.

 Riding Serbia

In two election cycles on December 17 and June 2, Aleksandar Vučić saddled Serbia again, put new saddles on it, and by appealing to the will of the people in front of domestic and foreign audiences, he can continue to ride it to his heart's content.

As far as the majority of Serbian citizens are concerned, both those who out of some interest or fear or sincere faith voted for SNS with Prilep, as well as those who did not want to vote for some kind of alternative, got the power they were looking for in the republic, in the provinces and in the communities. where they live.

They will have no one to complain to when the local kabaddi knocks on their door or some freaky commercial-residential complex blocks the daylight and eats up their green spaces.

Celebration of Belgraders on the water

Belgraders can celebrate on the water. Most of the citizens of Belgrade who, on the post-election day, after heavy rains, are swimming in feces again and taking out their kidneys in public transport, while barely making ends meet, have been given a mandate to continue where they left off and buy another "McLaren" that they can put on the Serbian tricolor and from it, while the populists scream, they shout that we are not a genocidal nation.

While this text is being written, both the government and the opposition are declaring victory in Niš and Čačak, and it is still uncertain who will form the government in the Belgrade municipalities of Novi Beograd, Stari grad and Vračar. There is no doubt that the ruling camarilla will do everything to patch those holes in the network of their government because they know very well how easily it could tear apart.

And how many holes there would have been if there had been no call for a boycott and whether they could have been patched at all, we will never know.

And in the end: autocratic systems such as this Serbian one can only be overthrown in two ways - either on the street, by force, either by both or by the opposition, or by the fact that, under any electoral conditions, more citizens will simply vote for the opposition than the government can drag to the ballot boxes, invent, create and teleport. The coalition "Serbia against violence" had shown that it was possible, when it was wanted, but it is not worth shedding more tears over.

In the ranks of the opposition, the winners of these elections are Dr. Dragan Milić in Niš and Savo Manojlović in Belgrade. An analysis of their success could be a guide for some future opposition action.
