Đorđe Vukadinović explains for "Vreme" that everything is leading to even greater polarization of the political scene, and that the chance to avoid this was missed last fall when the right-wing parliamentary parties did not unite, and that now it would be naive to expect that "the right would be politically slaughtered." could make some serious and real third block when they didn't when they were relatively strong
Is it after? right-wing fiasco in the December elections there is a chance for reunification for the upcoming regular local and repeated extraordinary Belgrade elections? And where does it lead?
Đorđe Vukadinović, editor of New Serbian Political Thought, tells "Vreme" that the more time passes since the December elections, the more clear the scale of the cataclysm experienced by the right-wing option in the last elections and that it is greater in the political sense than in purely mathematical terms. of letters and percentages.
"I'm afraid that they won't recover easily or quickly," says Vukadinović.
He adds that association is neither realistic nor possible now, and that what was a win-win solution then is no longer, nor would it be useful.
What is known so far? Where will the right parties go?
"The model" of the SNS and the SPS is "perfectly suitable" for the pledgers
President of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) Ivica Dacic stated that "there is an agreement" that in the local elections in Belgrade, which are expected to be announced on Wednesday, June 2, SPS, Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), Radicals and Zavetnici will participate on one electoral list.
The leadership of the Serbian party Zavetnici confirmed that they had talked with the leaders of the SNS and SPS about the model of a coalition, that is, an alliance for joint participation in the upcoming elections, and that they would "behave responsibly" with that proposal.
On the occasion of Dacic's statement, the Zavetnici party announced that the model stated by "Mr. Ivica Dacic fully corresponds to the concept of gathering" that they are advocating, because it is a model that brings together parties in power and parties that have been in the opposition until now, parties of the left and parties of the right which are "state-building", whatever that means.
Vukadinović says that taking into account that SRS, SPS, SNS and Zavetnici go together, it is completely logical that NADA and Serbia Against Violence (SPN) go together.
"I don't think it's bad, I even think it's almost a natural, logical option, especially if all these people from the government act together," says our sagvoornik.
NADA and SPN, is one column possible?
In an interview for "Vreme" Miloš Jovanović, president of the New Democratic Party of Serbia and assistant professor at the BU Faculty of Law, says that it is best to act in two columns for the sake of a better result for both coalitions, and if that fails, it is possible to finally unify the opposition under the same roof.
"If the election conditions were to change, there are arguments for and against joining together under the same roof." In principle, I am in favor of two columns, because I know many people on the right who would not accept a pre-election alliance with the coalition Serbia against violence, and that is why I think we can achieve a better result in two columns. There is one option in which the opposition under the same roof makes sense, and that is if the tension rises to such an extent and there is such a sharp polarization between all kinds of opposition and the regime, that it is necessary to unite forces", said Jovanović.
People's Party, DJB, Dveri
After the statement of the president of the People's Party (NS) Vladimir Gajić that an agreement was made with the party "Enough is Enough" (DJB) on a joint appearance in the upcoming Belgrade elections and that Dveri is now waiting to join that coalition, the NS told "Danas" that they are waiting for the call of the NADA coalition to unify the right and perform together.
The vice-president of the Serbian movement Dveri Ivan Kostić states that the voters punished them in the previous elections, because the unification of the right did not happen.
"Now there are no more obstacles to that unification, and the Belgrade elections are the first opportunity for that," says Kostić.
Dveri, therefore, calls on the NADA coalition, as "the strongest grouping of the right-wing spectrum, to initiate that unification, where in addition to Dveri, there would be other patriotic organizations, as well as prominent Serbian intellectuals, and Dveri will gladly respond to that call."
After that unification, says Kostić, we should discuss whether it is better to go out in one or two opposition columns in the Belgrade elections.
Vukadinović, on the other hand, explains that everything is leading to the polarization of the political scene, and that the chance to avoid this was missed when the right-wing parliamentary parties did not unite last fall, and that it would be naive to expect that the "politically slaughtered right" could make some serious the third block when they did not do so when they were relatively strong.
The pardon procedure implies the appropriate role of the Minister of Justice, who should initiate the procedure or submit an opinion on the pardon, says prosecutor Radovan Lazić.
