The new face of DPS and what will happen to the house

Overnight, on election night in Podgorica, doctor Nermin Abdić became one of the most important politicians in the DPS, and therefore a relevant player on the entire Montenegrin political scene.

It could be said that the voters sensed precisely Abdić's lack of will to be something more than the mayor of Podgorica, and that's why they happily decided that, with a little luck, Abdić would become just that.

Negotiations begin, with their difficult and easy twists and turns, but what happened in the elections has the characteristic of a tectonic shift precisely because of Dr. Abdić, who gave the DPS what it had been looking for for years and decades, a human face from the neighborhood who is not a thief.

A bit unsmiling in his performance, shaky in his movements, devoid of oratorical refinement, Dr. Abdić is a man who was believed precisely because he did not come out of the party's confectionary machine that formed an entire generation of clones of Milo Đukanović, dim as they are difficult to watch. That means quite a lot of murky ones, because at every moment, with their tortured selves, they bear witness to the subjugated ego and unfettered influence that shaped them politically to be eternal betas.

As such, all those young lovers are a good opposition potential, they are ready to feign pathos and complain about the procedure, but when the election comes, irrational things happen. Voters are looking for an original, even if it is not stylized, even if it is original, which we have in the case of Milan Knežević.

That Montenegrin audience is strange, even if we move away from politics. I will run through the example of two television meteorologists who appeared ten years ago on the airwaves of a new television station. It was never clear to me why the audience chose Micev instead of Pavićević, whose performances were incomparably better from the point of view of the leading profession. Mitsev had a heavy accent, he didn't smile, and he talked like he was diving. His every word was followed by a fight for air and he often illogically stopped at the point, but this was exactly what the broad mass of the people's brains recognized as their working frequency. That's how Micev suddenly started appearing at fashion shows, and if I remember correctly, he was also on some party list.

For a long time, the DPS was waiting for a moment of emotional release that would not be tainted by Đukanović's shadow, and here, with the help of a criminally bad government and a couple of old-school tricks, Dr. Abdić appeared with his clippers and the famous greeting "Good people". The last time a political slogan was received in this way was when the Democrats distributed chocolate bars in the houses of the in-laws and recorded the famous advertising omnibus under the slogan "Take it easy". The same kind of relaxed banter characterized these elections and made Abdić's populism tolerable, because it appeared without pretension and innate to the person who implements it.

I'm not good at negotiations, but with Abdić, DPS has a much better position, which Dritan Abazović will perhaps best recognize and use. A populist of that format could connect with Abdić's narrative, export some post-election saga about an honest man within the DPS who finally became a party like any other, a party of ordinary people and for the people. If Abazović plays it right and what was called "Jakov Milatović - For a better Podgorica" ​​enters into a coalition with the DPS, it will not be beneficial just because of the cleaning of the neo-Otets substrate that has begun to spread dangerously in the local area. It will be a historical moment and the moment when Montenegrin society passes from a pre-political state to a political one. And what does political society mean? That means everyone with everyone. Without false moralizing and just out of pure interest.
