Expect reports soon about the icon that wept (seen by my godmother's aunt) and the rock that spoke in a (male) voice and clearly condemned the disputed law on church matters. Some eyewitnesses claim that the rock spoke with a recognizable Nikšić accent, while others dispute this, claiming that our earthly accents play no role in God's speech. Cynics claim that the rock barely uttered the word "bilateral".
She is different with tears - the icon seems to cry without waiting for the law to be mentioned to her. It looks more like a general attitude than a specific condemnation.
Also, expect resolute support for the MPC SPC from the Danilovgrad ice cream sellers' guild and over two hundred forestry technicians, wood processing department, municipality of Šavnik. Taxi drivers from Budva will certainly speak out, and it would be good to hear the opinion of pensioners from Žabljak as well. A list of around five hundred and fifty preschool representatives from all over Montenegro is being prepared, you will enjoy reading those names...
This is the logic of the campaign: a letter of support to colleagues "becomes" support for the SPC in Montenegro. Nuance always dies when times like this come. That is why it is so challenging and difficult (some believe - impossible) to think the third time in today's Montenegro.
The Church is not interested in elections, it is not fascinated by those short deadlines, it is certainly interested in the position of a key partner of the government. No limit on the number of mandates. Which is, in principle, dangerous for the church itself, but much more dangerous for society.
The church, unfortunately for Montenegrin society, seems to free the citizens from fear of the government much more effectively than the complete opposition with its many decades of activity. It's just that - dangerous.
However, these days only the death lists are real. Everything else is one type of marketing or another.
The stories from Sandzak resemble the most gloomy atmospheres from Latin American prose - like Pedro Paramo, for example - or those places in One Hundred Years of Solitude when counting the wagons that take away the dead workers from the plantations, after one of the rebellions. That kind of desperation of people and being ignored by the authorities.
Prime Minister Brnabić calls the indignant people "political activists" after their backs are scratched and the names of dead relatives and friends are shouted. "All the people who came here are political activists," said Brn. and - finished story.
The Parliament finally passed the same-sex partnership law. As expected, the spectrum of reactions is interesting.
Conservatives are dismayed, traditionalists of all stripes saw this as a disaster, fascists are horrified by the petty-bourgeois register (that's how it always starts), in short, when you see it all - hell, it's a really big and wonderful day.
It was uncertain until the last hour, but, let's remember, the AB revolution also succeeded only in the second attempt - here the "new sensibilities" are conquered slowly and with difficulty, mostly - fraudulently.
That is why the facade of our public attitude is so important to us in our experience of the world, which often completely deviates from the interior, the content of the home.
Look around, everyone's lips are full of sweet European rhetoric, and around - the Middle Ages and the ecstasy of pseudo-tradition. That's what you get when you start whining about the matrix - How about a same-sex partnership? God didn't say so. (Everyone knows what God said or thought - and they only know that from their own heads. Poor God, what kind of interpreters is he condemned to.)
Demagoguery of any kind is highly valued in Montenegro. It's always been like that, let's not fool ourselves. The dominance of demagoguery is always humus for partitocracy and public hypocrisy. And you have those two on stage all around us.
Expect new listings. These and those. There is a certain metaphysics of lists that should never be underestimated. Here, all evil begins with making lists. Some lists will be answered with other messages. And then we all do - everything according to the list.
