Andrei in agony

That evening, after the first round of elections for the mayor of Zagreb, the state election commission was flooded with thousands, even tens of thousands of complaints from angry and bitter Zagreb citizens who abandoned the election en masse, because their candidate Damir Filipović from the HDZ was not on the ballot.

- Excuse me - a middle-aged lady politely addressed a young man from the election commission on Zagreb's Trešnjevca. - You gave me the wrong ballot.

- I don't understand - answered the young man. - What's the problem?

- There is no candidate for me - shrugged the lady with pads on the shoulders of the old fashioned jacket.

- No candidate for you? - repeated the young man.

- Here, see for yourself - the lady handed him her ticket. - Damir Filipović is nowhere to be found.

- Why not? - the young man pointed to the top of the slip. - Here it is, madam, in the first place. Number one, Filipović, Croatian Democratic Union.

- I saw, I'm not stupid - said the lady. - But it's Davor.

- Yes and?

- I told you, I came to vote for Damir. Damir Filipović.

- But there is no Damir Filipović on the ticket, madam.

- That's what I'm talking about.

The described event took place at polling station number 290 in the Ninth High School building in Stara Trešnjevac. And it was not the only such case. That evening, after the first round of elections for the mayor of Zagreb, the state election commission was flooded with thousands, even tens of thousands of complaints from angry and bitter Zagreb citizens who abandoned the election en masse, because their candidate Damir Filipović from the HDZ was not on the ballot.

And it was the same everywhere: instead of Damir Filipović, there was only one Davor Filipović, obviously set up as some kind of communist diversion, to induce the more naive and careless voters to circle the number one on the ballot with the striking similarity of the first and last names.

So, to cut this terrible story short, HDZ's candidate for Zagreb mayor received barely thirty thousand votes, less than ten percent, barely overtaking the SDP candidate, and in the end winning a miserable fourth place. According to some rough estimates, at least a hundred thousand people from Zagreb, who went to the polls that Sunday - firmly convinced that "now is important" and firmly resolved to round up the HDZ candidate - gave up voting or canceled their ballot, because thought that the HDZ candidate Filipović is not called Davor, but Damir.

And who knows if we would have ever found out about this incredible diversion of the Croatian communists and their cells in Zagreb, if HDZ president Andrej Plenković hadn't broken into them.

"All the media I spoke about, including your house, wrongly stated the name of HDZ's candidate for mayor of Zagreb, Davor Filipović, as Damir in their broadcasts. This happened at least fifteen times, including on another television, and the same thing happened in some print media," Plenković said in an interview with RTL, and repeated it several more times in the following days.

"These were not slips, it was obviously intentional," raged the president of the HDZ. "If Filipović was called by a third or fourth name, I would say it was a slip of the tongue. But they called him Damir every time, that can't be a coincidence. They called him Damir during the entire campaign!"

For ten years, if you had analyzed the local elections and the race for the mayor of Zagreb, you would not have understood the game and the demonic plan of the communist media underground: constantly and at every opportunity, as an accidental mistake, HDZ's candidate Davor Filipović was called were Damir, sending such subliminal messages "Davor, Damir, Davor, Damir", until the citizens no longer knew if he was Davor or Damir, in the end they were completely sure that he was in fact Damir.

On Sunday morning, HDZ voters went to their polling stations, took their ballots and hid in their four cardboard walls, where they were shocked to discover that there was no Damir Filipović on the ballot, but only one Davor. What is Davor now, who is this Davor anyway? Maybe that Davor Dretar Drele, maybe that rebel Davor Ivo Stier?

And maybe, far from it, Davor Bernardić?

- I don't know what you are talking about - the one from the election commission tells them with a sneer. - That's Filipović.

- Yes, but Davor.

- I'm sorry, that's all we have from Filipović.

- And Damir?

- We don't have any Damir, see for yourself. But we have excellent Davors - now the young Skojevic is already openly screwing around. - Admittedly, we are missing Davor Bernardić, but in addition to Davor Filipović, we also have Davor Nađi from Fokus at number four. It is excellent, once arrived from Sveta Nedelja. Fokus got Damir Halužan from HDZ in the last elections there after a hundred years.

- Damira? Well, that one.

- Yes, but that Damir is in your election in Sveta Nedelja. Damir Halužan. There, I say, Fokus had both a deputy mayor and a mayor. This Nađi and Dario Zurovec.

- Dario? How is Dario now? Isn't it Davor?

- No, Dario Zurovec. But I say, he is not on the list in Zagreb, Davor is.

- Davor Filipović? Well, that's what I'm telling you.

- I mean Davor Nađi. Excellent Davor. His deputy Davor is also a plus, look here. Davor Huić.

As you can see, general chaos reigned on the ballot for the mayor of Zagreb. Plenković's candidate Damir Filipović - whom the communist media mentioned, insulted and belittled so much, that tens of thousands of Zagreb patriots just rushed to the polling stations to circle his name - was not on the ballot at all! Not a single Damir in the offer, but even three Davors. Moreover, the only Filipović on the ballot was Davor!

And HDZ voters, clearly, withdrew from the election. For that, as he is called, "Davor" Filipović, whoever he was - if he even exists - in the end, only about thirty thousand more careless, mostly elderly and visually impaired people voted for him.

And not only that. At the same time, while all the media that Mr. Plenković was talking about wrongly stated the name of the HDZ candidate Davor Filipović as Damir in their broadcasts, until then the names of the Fokus candidates, Nađi and his deputy Huić, were correctly and without error stated as Damir!

- Davor - Branko Bačić will cautiously correct Plenković.

- Yes, Davor - the Prime Minister will correct himself. - Those were not slips, it was obviously intentional.

- Of course it was intentional - the President of the Supreme Court will say. - Mr. Nadji's name is Davor.

- No, I mean for Davor Filipović. If Filipović was called by a third or fourth name, I would say it was a slip. But they always called him Davor, that can't be a coincidence! They called him Davor throughout the campaign.

- Damir.

- Yes, Damir.

This is how the secret operation of the media underground codenamed "Darinko" was exposed. Why "Operation Darinko" and not "Operation Damir", then you ask. That's what I'm talking about. The communists did everything to drive the voters completely crazy and prevent the magnificent victory of the HDZ candidate Darinko Filipović. Sorry, Damira. Davora! Look what they did, even Dalibor himself doesn't know his name anymore.

- All the media that I spoke about, including your house, in the past few days have incorrectly stated my name as Aretej in their broadcasts. This happened at least fifteen times, and the same thing happened in some print media - Andrej Plenković will complain on television tomorrow. - Those were not slips, it was obviously intentional. If they called me by a third or fourth name, I would say it was a slip. But no, even the headlines read: "Prime Minister Aretaeus in agony"!

- Mr. Plenković...

- "Prime Minister Aretaeus in agony!" That can't be a coincidence!

- Mr. Plenković, please - the journalist will finally interrupt him. - You probably mean Krleža. Two of Krleža's dramas are staged at Zagreb's HNK, so on Wednesday they announced the premieres of "Areteja" and "U agonija" for the end of the season. Not Prime Minister Aretej, but Prime Minister "Aretej".

- The premiere of "Aretej"?

- Yes. And "In agony".

Fortunately, as you can see, it turned out that the analysts from the Drama of the Zagreb National Theater did not think of staging a play based on Krleža's "On the edge of memory".

Prime Minister Aretej Plenković, a victim of communist secret operations and persecution, would eventually end up "In the camp".
