Montenegrin culture chronically suffers from a lack of courage and willingness to stand up to political and religious hypocrisy, the Civic Initiative "21 May" announced.

They say that the fact that there is no institutionalized political theater in Montenegro "speaks enough about a provincialized and clericalized society," and "just a cursory look at party and religious leaders provides enough inspiration for a captivating theatrical satire."

"It is hilarious when Spajić talks about a pro-European, civic and capable government or the achievements of invisible reforms. It is even more inspiring when Bečić criticizes party employment during the time of the former regime or when he announces the collapse of the unfortunate mafia and the end of the DPS octopus. It is especially poignant when Mandić calls for national reconciliation while visiting every execution site of domestic traitors and clearly serving Belgrade's hegemonic and chauvinistic politics. It is even more impressive to notice Knežević, who with fairground inspiration plays the role of Vučić's licensed nuisance. The two evicted Greater Serbian metropolitans, whose empathy towards the criminal Chetniks obscures the already refined Christian sentiments, are particularly illustrative. If we add to this gallery of regime characters and the formal leader of the DPS who every month decisively moves the 'red lines' that the government must not cross, then we truly get an excellent template for an irresistible political comedy," it is written in press release.
