The deputies who will vote for the survival of the government because of the tycoon's millions, i.e. those deputies who are "bought by Đukanović, have a place in the dustbin of political history", said the vice-president of the Democrats, Vladimir Martinović.
Martinović added that political corruption is the biggest threat to the European integration of Montenegro.
He said that today, nowhere in the countries that are members of the EU or strive to become one, will you find an example like in Montenegro. From the lower levels, says Martinović, there is a great fear that it will be made official at the highest, state level.
"Corruption in the adoption of laws and other decisions of the Parliament (decisions on the allocation of resources, Kraljičina plaža, Miločer) is a source of corruption that is transferred to other areas in order to maintain and implement corrupt arrangements. It enters into all pores of social processes, implying that it is something normal and not the other way around. In this way, the systemic spread of corruption is encouraged and legal and political institutions are paralyzed, which will not have the capacity to enact and implement European reform laws and hinder the fight against corruption at other levels of government," said Martinović.
He added that if the Government would survive on the basis of political corruption, then neither the Parliament nor the Government would have the capacity or the will to enact anti-corruption laws, because they would have no motive to destroy their own foundations and eliminate sources of political benefit.
"He who undermines political corruption, establishes it as a standard, cannot be a spearhead in the fight against it, nor be legitimized in the eyes of the EU as a fighter for the rule of law. In this way, the adoption of anti-corruption and other laws without which there is no rule of law is blocked, on which the EU insists on," said Martinović.
The Vice President of the Democrats added that Frpolitical corruption lead to the parties that participate in it "infecting the already vulnerable state administration, making it weak and poorly paid and poorly controlled due to the accumulation of party staff carried on the backs of the corrupt party."
"A weak and inefficient administration has a strong motive to engage in corruption and to extort and blackmail during the implementation of the law. Nobody thinks that the corruption support to the Đukanović Government will be given without a lot of concessions and mutual interests. In this way, the implementation of the law is blocked without which there is no rule of law, which the EU insists on," said Martinović.
Martinović added that Montenegro is in danger of entering the vicious circle of regime authoritarianism and political corruption.
"The arbitrariness of the head of the regime excludes the possibility of establishing effective law and justice, and he only agrees to adopt weak and more formal legal restrictions on power so that the head of the regime has more freedom and a free hand in the exercise of power. The head of the regime creates and sets the standard according to his criteria and at his own discretion Both of these facts are the biggest factors in the spread of corruption. In order to maintain an authoritarian regime that means a comfortable life and privileges to the quasi-elites, they will not exclude any means in the struggle to maintain power. Political corruption continues to encourage the exclusion of essential competition for voter trust and real responsibility. according to voters. Citizens are thus prevented from being a barrier to bad government. An exceptional mechanism is excluded in this way, which distances Montenegro from the orderly states of the European circle of civilization. The question arises, how is it possible to deceive about thirty thousand voters on the very eve of new elections? Those thirty thousands who were for the true democratization of society and the removal of this government," said Martinović.
The Vice President of the Democrats said that Mrthe spread of political corruption will also discourage foreign direct investments and dramatically reduce the participation of Montenegro in European and international economic flows, for at least two reasons.
"Political corruption will surely, among other things, result in laws that privilege those who are ready to bribe politicians the most, and not laws that will stimulate those who are ready to invest the most in economic resources. Also, the spread of political corruption will raise doubts among serious foreign investors that they are not informed about local circumstances and the constellation of political relations and in parallel rules, such as those related to corrupt authorities, which makes them extra sensitive and vulnerable to the development of corruption in our country and deters them from investing.the last, based on political corruption, which is registered by the European Commission's Report on the progress of Montenegro and which will lead to the doubt of the relevant international actors in the capacity of political institutions and which will lead to the exclusion of the country from European economic flows, will become a victim of its offenses against the basic principles of the democratic order. The interest of Đukanović cannot and must not be above the interest and reputation of the European Union or the state of Montenegro and its citizens. Therefore, those deputies who will vote for the survival of the government because of the tycoon's millions, that is, those deputies bought by Đukanović, have a place in the dustbin of political history," concluded Martinović.
