"Minister Mitrovic remains a minister, he was too confused and made statements that lowered the government's rating", said the Prime Minister Krivokapic, on the occasion of his minister's recent TV appearance at Petar Komnenić. Someone will say - an ordinary sentence, an attempt to get out of an unpleasant topic, but I believe that this sentence contains much more than what would be said at first glance. And I guess that is the definition of a concise expression.
To me, in fact, Minister Mitrović did not seem confused, but rather - completely unworthy of the position he holds. And there is a difference, although the prime minister will not see it.
Again, it is not illogical that someone who has found himself in a place that does not belong to him from classical reasons (knowledge, skill, integrity) seems confused. How would you act differently? But the impression remains that this type of Prime Minister's defense (don't defend me anymore, the people of Podgorica would say) confirms that the government was created without a cure impressionistically. Which is to say - without a clear active contour.
In principle, man is most thoroughly confused by what is unclear to him. From this "obscurity" philosophy, art and science are born, but above all - confusion. That magnificent verse AB Šimića - "Poets are a wonder in the world", in Montenegro, today, could read, just as true, as follows: "Ministers are confusion in the media".
Again, there is confusion and confusion. What type is this one that is dominating the Montenegrin public scene these days? It is not easy to figure out whether the confusion in front of metaphysical questions, or ordinary, everyday confusion.
And who is (all) confused here?
In fact, everyone around seems less confused than the Prime Minister himself.
The Prime Minister sometimes looks like an icon of confusion. Only that in his case this "icon" should not be read metaphorically.
As Prime Minister in the Patriarchate could become an expression synonymous with that of the saviors of Rome in the fog. A measure of confusion: he left Belgrade to convey the greetings of the "faithful people" as if he were a carrier pigeon and not the prime minister. There they thought he was coming to sign something...
Tones of confusion, it seems, are not just the prerogative of the current government. The opposition is also very immune to that virus.
"It's dishonorable when it's not his time," he says Veljović, you remember the character, Bob Rock who once had a master's degree, former minister and police chief, now a consultant. As far as I understand, that is the title of his author's text in which he tries to help readers understand the current challenges facing Montenegro.
The real question for the author is - when is it time for dishonor? Because this statement (when it's not his time) is used for weather events (thunder, snow, rain...), things that we cannot influence and which are part of the natural cycles that, in the end, make up our life. To paraphrase this kind of statement with "dishonor" is actually to give dishonor the status of a natural phenomenon. And that is not so. Dishonor is always just that - dishonor, and there are no metaphysical or physical reasons to justify it. In other words, and the former minister and first police officer should know this, there is never a time for dishonor. Or, on the other hand, someone thinks it is... But, only when we are in power, when we have a reason above all reasons ("defense of the state"), then we (but only we who are on the right side) are dishonorable - allowed. The subtext is, in fact, crystal clear. One could almost say that the nature of the language made the master unexpectedly honest. The right to dishonor, that seems to be the key political struggle...
A confused prime minister, confused ministers, confused opposition... It can't turn out well.
The confusing dismissal (with an unclear background) of a health worker shows that even in this confusion, the new government has a system. Too much. Nevertheless, the almost unanimous reaction of the citizens who came to the doctor's defense shows that not all of them are confused.
