"Their identification with the state, in the sense of Louis XIV "the state, that is me", only shows a panicked fear of losing power"

The atmosphere on the eve of the local elections in Montenegro was ignited by the post-referendum patriotic fervor promoted by the Democratic Party of Socialists, said Forum 2010 spokesman Boban Batrićević.

Due to the huge number of affairs, according to his opinion, the current government is trying to avoid responsibility for the destroyed economy, unemployment and the drop in living standards, "thus reducing the entire political discourse to the issue of the statehood of Montenegro".

"It is symptomatic that a party like DPS, which declares itself to be left-wing, uses exclusively right-wing rhetoric. We know that right-wing discourse always has an identical form, because from the position of the dominant group (in this case the government) the problems faced by the subordinate group are denied ( In such circumstances, it is not surprising that the Democratic Party of Socialists, as an oppressor, who made the biggest financial mess in Montenegro in its history, runs away from responsibility, and inserts the issue of the independence of our state and our society into the political dialogue of local elections," he said. Batrićević.

"The unprincipled and Machiavellian policy of Prime Minister Đukanović before the elections in Podgorica are nothing more than a simple political gaffe, which has no logical foundations. At the beginning of the year, he called on Serbs to enter the government, and a few months later, he characterized the majority of Serbs as mercenaries of foreign services which undermine the statehood of Montenegro. With the parties that tore up the Montenegrin Constitution, his DPS held power in Podgorica until these elections. In addition, he renewed close relations with the SPC, and a coalition appearance with the People's Party was also announced. The citizens do not understand why Đukanović divides Serbs into desirable and undesirable?"

According to him, it is therefore important to point out that these are not elections where the fate of Montenegro is decided, but elections where the fate of DPS is decided.

"The current situation in the country requires an uncompromising fight against organized crime and corruption, in order to transform it into a free country, which will be based on civil principles of respect for diversity"

He added that in a country where the government has not changed for decades, anything is possible.

"For a minute or two, Goebbels pink or Montenegrin Volkissher Beobachter, without any journalistic ethics, tells the biggest lies at the expense of DPS dissenters. With this pre-election rhetoric, Montenegro looks more and more like a ghetto," says Batrićević.

According to him, Podgorica is an opposition city.

"This is shown by the results of previous elections and recent polls. Every effort should be made to keep it that way, and some coalitions must draw a clear line of demarcation with the harmful policy of the DPS, in order to respect the opposition will of the citizens of the capital. The policy of the "third way" with with an undefined goal, can easily lead to a Nikšić epilogue," said Batrićević.

According to his opinion, the Montenegrin society needs changes in the system of values ​​and the way of management, "which are the main goals of the Forum 2010".

"The current situation in the country requires an uncompromising fight against organized crime and corruption, in order to transform it into a free country, which will be based on civil principles of respect for diversity. Podgorica is the city of the Future, not neoliberal barbarians," concluded Batrićević.
