The pride parade is a spectacle, a carnival, a general joy wherever it happens. Fireworks of colors and games. It's as if we forgot the true nature of the carnival - in the Middle Ages, the carnival was a kind of, in today's vocabulary, social ventilation - the days when you could do what you couldn't do in the so-called "normal" age.
Admittedly, things are a little more difficult in the Balkans – in Belgrade and Sarajevo, the pride parade caused street confrontations and the rampage of young fascists. You hoped in vain that Podgorica would be something else - and here, as we see, the fascists and others are ready for anything, just so that it doesn't happen... what? Free People's Walk. Carnival of diversity.
Therefore, what in a good part of the world is a reason for a public spectacle, in the Balkans, suddenly becomes a reason for fascist rampage, a gathering of the worst, the hysteria of those who believe that they are the healthiest and most normal of all, and that they have the duty to - "heal" others . Of course, this "medicine" implies exclusively medieval methods.
Montenegro, it seems, is not yet able to bear something like that. This is where, as we have seen, an ad hoc alliance is born between Amfilohi, various ministers, and a good number of opposition, institutional and non-institutional champions... If anything should worry you, it is precisely this creepy agreement.
Of course, the worst option is the one chosen by the majority - those who say - ok, I don't mind diversity when it takes place in the bedrooms, but what's the point of them parading? And why not? I don't remember people being so horrified when they en masse followed and showered flowers on the tanks that were going to kill our neighbors.
So - Montenegro can endure hunger and strikes, deans-thugs and humiliation of intelligence, it can endure corruption and cynicism of power, our noble citizens are not bothered by primitivism either, a good Montenegrin can, without problems, endure obvious money laundering in to the ruling party through false lists of donors, all that is possible, but not the walk of fellow citizens who want their right to diversity. Is there a more terrible diagnosis for a country, for a society?
We are left, it seems, without a pride parade, but that's why DPS will parade with all its might. But no matter how much they are used to that parade, these gentlemen can always go one step further. That parade won't cause any riots - that's why it's taking so long. Two decades. No one will tell them - parade in your bedrooms, leave the public alone.
Congress of the ruling party held on the days of a national holiday - well, these are privatizations that almost no one talks about: who "bought" the holiday, and at what price? How is ownership of "state dates" acquired?
That some Italians didn't show up there as well? It's called insolence - a party event framed by a national holiday. That maybe they didn't buy this holiday with the donations of many members. And that, it seems, of a very rich membership: to not remember contributions of several hundred or thousands of euros, you must be not only forgetful, but also very wealthy.
It must be there as with the churches – instead of two Orthodox churches, we will soon have a unique DPS church on the scene. But at least there won't be any problems - it will be easy to know who the patriarch is.
Again, maybe this scandal with membership donations is the answer to the question of why congresses are for them - to collect new names for future lists of donors. This time is definitely looking for its own Gogol.
Once upon a time, I remember, in children's magazines there were sections of the type - dress up Prince Valiant, or Paja the Duck. In addition to the comic book hero, you would get a few drawn items of clothing that the hardworking pioneer (or pioneer) would then cut and paste over the naked hero.
Perhaps the congress of the ruling party would be a good opportunity to offer people a similar game - create the ideal DPS? And then you combine: for example, Milo's self-criticism, Svito's clarity, Mugi's truthfulness (and paternal love), Filip's tendency to risk... And the like.
Something from the lower, police-poet staff should also be included - for example, Veljović's subtlety and professionalism, Migo's eloquence, Đaga's theatricality, and don't forget Goranović's (consultant-director-literary) professional ethics... What a Frankenstein.
Only for Igor to write a song about all this, and maybe there is hope. I think that everything turns into a carnival. Or some endless monster ball...
