It started with the announcement of an increase in electricity prices. The first safe step. The opposition members stood up immediately, and of course the enemies of the state, they could hardly wait, but a cold shower followed - it was soon clarified that there would actually only be an increase in the electricity bill, not an increase in the price of electricity. These "lezilebović" reacted similarly when they noticed excavators and piles of stones around the hotel "Crna Gora", cursing the government, talking about some kind of demolition, and then it was announced that the hotel was not demolished, but that it had collapsed "by itself".

The proposal to amend the Law on Social and Child Protection, which envisages a 25 percent reduction in allowances for mothers with three or more children - another safe step. The fee, which now amounts to 336 euros, will be reduced to 264 euros, and the fee from 192 euros to 144 euros, announced the vice president of the new, so-called Hardly a government, Mr. Milutin Simović. Great move!

And this is a serious policy, this is a domestic and responsible attitude towards the state. Do we now, in the midst of this chaos, need to collect taxes, catch thieves, conduct investigations, take from the rich, return the looted to the state, look for the guilty, when it is much simpler to take from the people by amending a few laws. We must be united when it is difficult, all of us together to help the country out of the crisis, so we will deal with taxes, the rule of law and other issues later, in a more relaxed atmosphere. Maybe it was just necessary to reduce these fees from 192 euros, let's say to 94 euros, so that the difference of 50 euros could go to some "Extraction and Covering Fund" from which the tycoons-patriots would be financed, when they lose more than 40.000,00, 60.000,00 euros for a night in the casino or when they are waiting for a couple to win over 20 euros "at the bookie". With the fact that, of course, the tycoons-patriots would have to, in order to make everything transparent, provide the Fund with evidence of the loss on the casino's letterhead, i.e. a copy of the ticket with all the affected pairs, at least 9 minutes before the start of the remaining game (e.g. a ticket with 10 /15.000 hits with an "excerpt from the teletext" as confirmation that the affected matches are indeed "concluded") + mandatory photo with Milo Đukanović or possibly with Duško Marković - for requested funds below 15 euros. In this way, we would provide part of the money for reducing the public debt, but also part of the money for those who care about the state and are always there for all of us, especially before the elections, to shout at us if we deviate from the right path, to benevolently pressure us, to honor us with money for an identity card, and the mothers would have enough for a decent life, so in Cuba people work for 20-XNUMX dollars a month, but we look down on everything and nothing is right for us.

And the children's allowance? Abolish! Let's leave populism, pathos, politicking - is a child from some Andrijevica more important than NATO integration!? That child will survive even without those 30 euros, that's not even for a glass of good whiskey, and the state needs every euro at this moment, the situation is difficult, too difficult, rigorous measures have been imposed on us to reduce the public debt - these are "unprovoked measures ", it is not the fault of the new Government, nor is it the fault of the old one, there is simply a debt that must be paid back. While evil tongues, avowed enemies of the state, only ask: where did such a debt come from, what have we done with that money all these years, how much debt, why the debt... It is as if now in this painful moment, when the wave of crisis has washed over us, when everything has stopped, and we are still reeling from the "coup d'état", it is important who put the state in debt, why it is so indebted and where the money is - now it is important to get the state out of big problems, then we will talk about the causes later, now it is important to understand, for every child to understand that this will not last forever, this is only temporary, until the new government gets a little better, it can't be done overnight.

They say that a new increase in fuel prices will follow - and that would be a complete hit! So isn't this the easiest way for all of us to help the country? We fill up with fuel every day, at least for 20-30 euros, well, let's be honest, maybe there are those who spend a little less, those few euros more means nothing to us, and it's a lot for the state today and it will never forget it. That's why as soon as the price of fuel "jumps" again, everyone grabs flags and water bottles and heads for the gas station! Let's help our Montenegro!

Or maybe we should have lowered the price of electricity and increased salaries, put everything aside and take care of poor citizens, sick children, mothers, the elderly and the infirm, pay the same or a lower price for fuel and drive around, while our country is slipping into bankruptcy!?

And let's make it clear: Children who need money for treatment should fend for themselves, they have families so let them help them, they have friends, they also have SMS services at their disposal, like all children in the region, the state is not a doctor, nor a parent, the state is not there to takes care of sick children, mothers and aunts, old and infirm citizens, but to protect true patriots and their businesses, to protect the interests of big capital, to protect those who protect the state by protecting their jobs. And its symbols.

The state is there to protect those who come to the rescue in crucial moments, defend the state from the hateful, anti-state opposition, those who put their yachts, trucks and planes at the disposal of all of us so that we can take pictures next to them whenever we want. Those who for ten long years, some even a few years more, uncompromisingly and courageously raise Montenegrin flags on the rearview mirror masts of their beautiful cars, those who bleed for the country in night clubs all over Europe, defending that no one speaks a single ugly word for our Montenegro, those whose wives travel thousands of kilometers every year in search of good shoes and handbags, not wanting to buy everything here "on the fly". The state is there to take care of those whose children don't go far, in a foreign country, in the white world, modestly, hidden from the eyes of the Montenegrin public, they fight hard for our Montenegro, diligently studying day and night in their small apartments of barely a hundred square meters. , so that one day they would return and start their businesses here, take over state functions from their parents, so that they could continue to defend the state from backward, barefoot and naked internal enemies.

The state is there to protect true patriots whose 23 companies are doing business successfully and for whom it is not difficult to, in addition to all their obligations, before every election allocate a large part of their time and money for the campaign of the party that has successfully led our country for almost three decades, for the campaign of the party that has made the once poor Montenegro the Leader of the Region, the Leader of the Euro and Euro-Atlantic integrations, the state-champion of democracy. The state is there first for those who are the pillar of the state itself, for those with whom everything begins and with whom everything ends, for those who tied all their affairs to the state, to the Gordian knot. For those who have merged with the state, for those bravest among us who don't want to pay taxes and submit bills to anyone! It is a much higher interest, but explain it to an idle citizen who only criticizes, but is unable to find a relationship and get a job, "make" 200-300 thousand euros and live like any normal world.

The new government is not even 40 days old, a truly fantastic performance, cheers to everyone!

And past work? No mistake.
