Perović: In elections, citizens choose between a certain setback and a chance

"It is a lie to choose between thieves and criminals. It is a lie that a dictator is defending the state. In these elections, we are choosing between the continuation of monopolies, captive institutions, a president who does not even formally present himself as the president of all citizens, and opportunities for change," Perović said.

The leader of the "Resist" movement, Džemal Perović, said that in the presidential elections, citizens are choosing between a certain setback and a chance.

In the elections, Perović supported one of the leaders of the Europe Now Movement and the presidential candidate for that party, Jakov Milatović, who met with Perović during the election campaign, while visiting Ulcinj.

"It is a lie to choose between Thieves and Pops. It is a lie that a dictator is defending the state. In these elections, we are choosing between the continuation of monopolies, captive institutions, a president who does not even formally present himself as the president of all citizens, and opportunities for change," Perović wrote on to your Facebook profile.

He also stated that he is rightly asked what the guarantees are "that we will immediately transition to a functional democracy and positive changes".

"Let me say right away, there are few guarantees. But not because of Jakov. He is proven to be uncorrupt. But... Changes, at least those expected from those who are proven fighters for change in Montenegro, did not occur after August 30, and I understand skepticism based on that," he added.

Perović also believes that there was a step back, "again in the performance of Milo's "leaders" on a short circuit".

"They played the role of confusing, maddening and disillusioning the citizens perfectly. For Milo, of course. (They are all the same - it is disastrous for democracy, freedom of choice, dismissal...) Then what do we choose? We choose between a certain regression (because if he wins this time it will be even more brutal with all the state apparatus) and we choose a chance, so that, at the end of the tunnel, processes will be started in a positive direction," he wrote.

He also says that democracy is not a built, rounded, or perfect system, far from it.

"But there is a chance for citizens to change. It's up to us," said Perović.

Perović also referred to the meeting with Milatović and said that he was retired, that he had a coffee with him, and that Milatović asked him how LSCG was destroyed, by what methods.

"I answered, and that's all. Yes, and took a picture, I dropped it. I wanted to say: "If they remember me... No one has to remember me, "I just did my civic duty". A little joke, at the expense of the author of 'Balkan Spy', whom A. Vučić, I hear, remembered," wrote Perović.
