Almost a month after he received the mandate, the leader of GP URA Dritan Abazović did not propose the program and composition of the new government. During that time, the economic and political crisis culminated, and it became increasingly clear to citizens that they were held hostage by party interests.
End of March – there is no minority government, and the outgoing one is divided and dysfunctional.
Meetings, negotiations, stipulations from all sides show that the parties care more about their own interests than the interests of the citizens, who are still fighting for existence, waiting for those they pay to be at their service.
Consultations with the parties were awaited, and then from Sunday to Sunday the decision of the GO SNP, then local elections in Berane and Ulcinj. But even three days after that, only unofficial information. Allegedly, it stalled due to the eventual entry of the SDP into the government, which the SNP categorically rejects, although our sources in the negotiations claim that the western partners are also looking for it.
MANS Director Vanja Ćalović-Marković points out that there is still no program of the future government, nor a vision of reforms in the country.
"To me, these negotiations now only seem like an agreement about who will get what share of the cake, and not whose idea will get support. Political negotiations are also being conducted in other countries, let's remember that negotiations were conducted in Germany, but they guided the principles, programs, ideas that the parties stand for...", said Ćalović-Marković.
He concludes that "we are classic hostages of political parties and their interests, and all their interests revolve around getting more votes in the elections, and more seats in the parliament, and not for this country to get reforms, for these citizens to experience justice, to see that something is moving forward, and not that they constantly argue about something every day, only to agree again tomorrow..."
Citizens are fed up with party agreements, which, notes Ćalovic-Marković, was confirmed by the elections in Berane.
"Few and fewer citizens will go to the polls if they continue to behave like this, if the elections do not bring us anything new, something concrete, that will change our lives for the better," said the director of MANS.
Because of this, no one is still held accountable.
"We have an outgoing government in which no one believes that they are responsible for anything anymore, due to a vote of no confidence in them, we don't have a new government yet, we have a dysfunctional parliament, so in this country it is no longer known who is responsible for anything." concludes Ćalović-Marković.
It is known, however, that a minority government can be formed until June 3, and in that month we have a new cycle of local elections...
