If several cases of high corruption - the most powerful ones - both in terms of money and influence are not prosecuted in the next six months, the door will be opened to the re-establishment of corrupt political practices, in one form or another, in the not-so-distant future, Srđan believes. Perić from the KOD organization.
They hired the Damar agency to do research, one of the questions of which was dealing with organized crime and corruption.
"Whoever doesn't want to see that, has a problem with intoxication from victory. Example: with the statement: "The new government will not fight organized crime and corruption more effectively than the previous government" - 43,3 percent disagreed, while 24,4 percent agreed. Therefore, a significant majority believes that the new government will fight these problems more effectively. In my opinion, the citizens sent a huge message - we want justice and the removal of the existing corrupt system. If we do not also get the dismantling of the political class and the formation of management structures based on the criteria of knowledge and efficiency, the change that has been won will remain only - a change for each other," said Perić.
The Damar agency's research was conducted on a stratified sample of 1.000 respondents.
It showed that the balance of power between the government and the opposition would have remained approximately the same in the elections if the elections had been held in the first half of October, with the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and the coalition for the future of Montenegro winning slightly fewer votes than on August 30, while the Peace is our Nation and Black on White coalitions would have more support.
DPS would vote for 32,5 percent of voters in the elections held in the first half of October, which is a drop of 2,6 percent compared to August 30, while the coalition led by Zdravko Krivokapić would win 28,8 percent of support, which is a drop of 3,7 .XNUMX percent.
On the other hand, in the first half of October, the coalition of Alekse Bečić would be voted by 15,8 percent of voters, which is an increase of 3,3 percent, while the alliance of URA and Civis Dritan Abazović would deserve the support of 11 percent of voters, which is 5,5 percent more compared to elections on August 30.
In the elections that would be held in the first half of October, the Bosniak Party would receive 3,5 percent of support, the SD 3,4, while the SDP would not pass the census with 2,5 percent. The Albanian list would have 1,6 percent of voter support, while the coalition of DP, DUA and DS had 0 percent of votes.
The survey showed that 83,5 percent of voters who voted for DPS in the elections would do so again.
After Milo Đukanović's party, the Black and White coalition has the strongest strength of the electorate - so 81 percent of citizens would vote for URA again.
The respondents rated Aleksa Bečić (3,14) and Dritan Abazović (3,14) with the best average score.
They are followed by Zdravko Krivokapić (3,03), Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Littoral (2,85), Vanja Ćalović Marković (2,52), Milo Đukanović (2,51), Miodrag Lekić (2,47), Duško Marković (2,36. 2,3), Draginja Vuksanović Stanković (2,24), Marko Milačić (2,21), Vladimir Joković (2,18), Milan Knežević (2,16), Andrija Mandić (2,08), Ivan Brajović (2,07 ), Nebojša Medojević (1,99), Rafet Husović (1,99), Nik Đeljošaj (1,96), Genci Nimanbegu (1,94), Fatmir Đeka (1,93) Mehmed Zenka (XNUMX).
Less than half of the respondents (44,1 percent) see their future better after the change of government than before the change, while (23,1 percent) see their future the same as before the change of government. That their future will be worse than before the change of government is the opinion of 16,7 percent of respondents, and (16,4 percent) respondents do not have a definite opinion on this issue.
Voters of the coalition For the Future of Montenegro (81,2 percent) and Peace is our Nation (77,7 percent) expect that a better future awaits them, while almost half of the voters of DPS (44,9 percent) and SD (46,7) believe that their future will be worse after the changes in Montenegro.
Montenegrin public opinion is divided over whether the new government will fulfill its promise that there will be no revanchism towards those who do not share their political views, because (37,5 percent) of respondents answered that the new government will fulfill its promise, (30,8 percent) that they will not fulfill the given promise, and (31,7 percent) of respondents do not have a clear position on this issue.
The largest number of surveyed citizens believe that there will be no reduction in salaries and pensions, while the majority are more optimistic that there will be no reduction in pensions. Generally speaking, Montenegrin public opinion is also divided on this issue, because there is no significant difference in attitudes on this issue.
Perić: Citizens demanded justice in the elections
The new majority should have proposed the names of the candidates for the Supreme State Prosecutor and members of the Judicial Council right after the candidates for the President of the Assembly and the mandate, according to Perić.
"Judicial reform is usually the slowest, and the sooner it is started, the sooner the results will come. Citizens demanded justice in the elections, and if they wait for it for a long time, the enthusiasm will subside. There are a lot of indicators for this in the research we present, starting with expectations in relation to changes and ending with the so-called stability of the electorate - because a high 83,5 percent of respondents who voted for DPS on August 30 stated that they would do it again," Perić said.
The structure in the DPS, as he said, no matter what one thinks, does not show a dramatic trend of attrition and it is tentatively regrouped.
"If there are no reform and judicial initiatives very soon, this government will be responsible for opening the door to the return, in one form or another, of those whom the citizens have now sent to the opposition. In that case, instead of explaining both logically and judicially its decisions from the past, the former government would be in a position to criticize the difficult decisions of the new Board in the present, which will necessarily be difficult and unpopular".
It is quite clear, he said, that the strategy of the previous government is to wait.
"You don't have to be very wise to understand that the best strategy of the new government is action. If it nevertheless agrees to delay the process of transfer of power, the new government risks falling into an intermediate space in which it will have the formal, but not the essential, power to implement the decisions it announced - while the real money, conditionally speaking, will not be in its hands - i.e. in the institutions they will manage. So, the reality is that citizens voted against a huge injustice. Injustice is not resolved for a delayed time, but is immediately resolved. I repeat, if the citizens wait too long, the electorate of the former government will enter more stable waters with its management structure," underlined Perić.
The citizens elected the government to solve their problems, he underlined, and added that the trust they will have will depend on the quality of the response to that need.
"This thesis is supported by the fact that a fairly high percentage of respondents in the survey believed that the change will be for the better and that neither salaries nor pensions will be reduced."
