Who cares about the kids, what's important is the celebration...

Friday, April 3 - The Parliament building was "painted" blue again, this time the aim was allegedly to "send a message of solidarity, understanding and responsibility" on the occasion of World Autism Awareness Day...

From January 1st to April 2nd, that solidarity, understanding, and responsibility - was nonexistent. Just as there were none in previous years, and there will be none in the coming years...

The message will, of course, be there as long as the parties elect our representatives, it's just that parents of children with autism will no longer want to listen to them...

Yesterday, representatives of some non-governmental organizations refused to do this because symbolic markings, such as blue balloons and illuminated buildings, are not beneficial to these children...

- Our children and we do not live autism only today, under the lights of cameras, we live it every second, 365 days a year, often forgotten by the system that should be our support. Today I have a duty and a request from the families I represent to return those balloons to you. We do not need decoration, we need a system that works - said Goran Laković.

And responded to the message that the international day is "an opportunity to hear each other":

- Gentlemen, we have been talking for years but you do not hear us. Questions without solutions are not opportunities, they are just a waste of time that our children do not have.

If the state was deaf yesterday, it will be shown just a few days later by the scandal in parliament. So just one more message from parents of children with autism that the state government did not want to hear, and even if it did, it would not understand:

- Don't paint the Parliament building blue, spare us that make-up. Leave it in the dark, with the lights off. Because that is the only honest picture of the reality in which children with autism and their families find themselves in the darkness of this system!

Saturday, April 4 - That darkness, in which the government does not leave only those children, is not being dispelled by entertaining adults. Especially not by announcing a three-day party on Independence Square and a state ceremony in the Plantaža vineyards...

If it weren't for the darkness in which all Montenegrin institutions languish even after the twentieth anniversary, the composition of the Committee for the Celebration of Independence Day would be more entertaining than these parties...

In which there is not a single initiator or at least participant in the struggle for the restoration of independence from 1990, neither from the Liberal Alliance, nor from Monitor, nor from any party that voted for an independent Montenegro in parliament in 1991...

There are, however, members - former members, in fact - of the mother party that fought against Montenegrin independence even after the 2006 referendum. And after its result was recognized, and among the first, by their mother Russia...

For this reason, I don't really understand why Andrija Mandić, Dario Vraneš or Stevan Katić are not on the committee for marking the jubilee state anniversary...

To make the party complete...

And to make it clear to everyone why the state committee for celebrating the national holiday is headed by the Prime Minister and not, as would be appropriate, the President of the country...

Sunday, April 5 - To reduce the embarrassment, perhaps Jakov Milatović's program will help, which truly "connects historical heritage with contemporary social development and a clear vision of the future," as his cabinet announced.

More important than that seems to me to be the second goal, that "children, young people and all citizens, through culture, art, education and ecology, have a deeper understanding of the values ​​on which contemporary Montenegro is based"...

Now, whether the Government will agree with me or, in keeping with its previous attitude towards the President, will invoke the lack of money and thus make the aforementioned scandal even greater, is not yet known...

It is only clear that the tribute to the heroes of the Medovo tragedy, the valorization of Žabljak Crnojević, 20.000 trees for 20 years of independence, the commemoration of the Battle of Martinić, the premiere of the musical about Ljubo Čupić, and the other fifteen points of the President's program will not require two million, which is what the Government intends to spend...

Monday, April 6 - There could be problems with the awarding of the Order of Montenegrin Independence, but not because of the costs of special production. But rather with the selection of twenty individuals "who, through their actions, have made a special contribution to the restoration of statehood."

Okay, this thing about statehood could also be a typo, because it wasn't restored in 2006, but in 1946.

It is not possible to elect those most deserving of independence without error...

Because the very explanation, that this order "recognizes those who have shaped the contemporary political, social and cultural path of Montenegro with their work" is wrong...

Not only because this modern political etc. path was not shaped by some moral boulders, but mostly by criminals, smugglers, fraudsters and other winners of the war for peace and the associated winners of the transition...

Logic dictates that on Independence Day, the medal is given to those who are deserving of it. The fact that among them is the late-joining fighter Milo Đukanović, who fought fiercely against Montenegrin independence for a decade and a half, does not mean that it should not be awarded to those who initiated the fight for independence...

Now, what it would look like if the President, whose political role model is Momir Bulatović, were to present decorations to those who dedicated their lives to fighting against the politics of which he was a symbol - for example, Slavko Perović, Miodrag Perović and the sons of the late Jevrem Brković - I can't even imagine that...

Tuesday, April 7 - I don't need to imagine the humiliation that the ruling MPs inflicted on children struggling with autism and their parents, I watched it live on the Parliamentary Channel...

Just five days after the parade of state concern, a proposal was put on the agenda to establish special institutions in which specialized teams would deal with autism spectrum disorders...

- It can't be done! - the ruling majority ruled with a five-vote advantage...

What? To establish these institutions?

No, we can't even discuss that one solution to some of the problems that more than four thousand children face...

The names of the thirty MPs who made this decision have not yet been announced...

It is not clear whether they made such a decision because the proposal came from the opposition or because they do not care about children with autism at all...

Unfortunately, something else is clear: that after the rock bottom reached by the government's deputies refusing to help pensioners and workers, parliament has managed to reach - the rock bottom...

Wednesday, April 8 - There is simply no appropriate word for what the Minister of Military Affairs said in Parliament. And how fortunate that he did not answer the parliamentary question about the dismissal of members of the Military Police...

Without that answer, the only thing that would be controversial would be that two members of smaller ethnic groups were among those dismissed, and that both they and their colleagues had been receiving the highest marks for their work for years...

After the answer, everything is questionable...

First of all, because there are certain human rights that should never be denied to anyone, in any place, and under any circumstances...

That the ministers and MPs of the Democrats have great problems with understanding individual freedom was clear immediately upon coming to power...

But I didn't expect that I would have to rewrite the UN Declaration of Human Rights because of Dragan Krapović...

Thursday, April 9 - Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. (Article 19)

- Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. (Article 20)

Why these two members?

Well, for the two reasons that the minister stated yesterday in response to a question from MP Nikola Zirojević about the dismissal of a member of the Military Police...

That member, in addition to a humorous message to his colleague "to save him the official car that he used to drive some other ministers before Krapović because he won't be a minister for much longer," allegedly also said "just tell the minister a little more, and then it's our turn."

And that in 2020 he was a participant in the "famous patriotic rally on September 6th"...

As proof of the presence of a military policeman at the rally held under the slogan "We Will Not Give Up Montenegro", the minister also attached photographs...

To prove that no member of the Army participated in the "We Will Not Give Up Sacred Things" processions - he didn't even try...

If he were to explain by which law employees in state bodies, organizations, institutions and establishments are prohibited from being dissatisfied with the work of a minister - he wouldn't be able to...

I hope he can't remove my pension either...

On that behalf, I am rewriting once again: "Minister Krapović will not be a minister for much longer"...

And not just him, but no one...
