The growth of hatred and chauvinism in our football stadiums has been happening in the last three years, as long as the process of complete humiliation of civil Montenegro and the relativization of every situation that until recently was unimaginable in Montenegrin society has been going on, announced the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS).
In the "corte" before the final of the Football Cup of Montenegro, fans of the football club Sutjeska shouted "Knife, wire Podgorica" near the stadium under Gorica yesterday.
The DPS state that last night's event from Podgorica is a continuation of the "trend of failure" which, as they say, does not bypass sports arenas.
"We will remember the outpouring of chauvinism in 2021 at the match Budućnost - Dečić, also in the final of the Montenegrin Cup, at the expense of the Albanians, as well as the shameful events from 2022, from the match Petrovac - Jezero, when part of the Montenegrin public was horrified by an unprecedented example chauvinism out of hatred, encouraged directly from the management of a first league club," they added.
From that party, they believe that it is futile to expect the current government to deal with that problem.
"Nevertheless, we promise the citizens that the next government, in which there will be DPS, with all competent institutions, starting from the FSCG to the Police Directorate, will persist in solving this problem - which must not be the new face of Montenegrin club football", conclude from DPS- a.
