What have we had these days?

In Kruševice, municipality of Šavnik, election materials were once again disbursed. The MP released security on the citizens at the Podgorica airport. A bomb was thrown in front of the prison chief's house. The special prosecutor was arrested.

As much as these cases call for a deeper analysis, I suggest that we leave them aside. An enraged MP is a symptom, not a cause, of social failure. It wouldn't be the first time that the state prosecutor was involved with the mafia. A šavnica saga, as inspired colleagues say, hides some deeper meanings.

It will be that the problem is in education, in relation to youth and children. The pain is of a structural nature, and all these spectacles have one common thread, they speak of a neglected aggressive individual who politically identifies with violence, because he is frustrated through primary and secondary socialization.

In order not to deal with individuals and heroes of the week, I chose a different approach this time. The following is a list of the findings of UNDP, UNICEF, FES, as well as several domestic traitors who, imagine, dealt with children and young people in Montenegro.

The survey data is fresh, mostly sampled over the past few months or years, which means you're in for a full-blooded present that's bubbling through a political crisis and promising huge pitchwise. Of course, the desire to destroy this society and the destruction that engulfs our leaders is only an external manifestation of a deeper pathology that I regretfully offer you to see, as an answer to the question of what we have to hope for.
