The past parliamentary elections in Hungary clearly showed the modality of political electoral action, how, and in what way, one can stand on the tail of a corrupt kleptocratic and authoritarian government.
The fact is that the political circumstances in Hungary are different than in Serbia, but, essentially, the electoral process and the elections themselves are pure mathematics – absolute unification and high turnout.
Of course, the question arises how to apply that recipe in Serbia, where Vučić’s electoral machinery has phantom voters, “inflated” electoral lists and a mafia that openly and unapologetically works for the government, primarily protecting its illegal and criminal activities.
It is clear that Serbia is very divided on this issue, and that of the opposition. Some would go for themselves, others would look at how and in what way to get on the so-called “Student List”, and that as high-ranking candidates, wouldn’t they enter the parliament that way (through the students, of course), and then create their own parliamentary clubs.
Gentlemen from the opposition, whoever thinks and acts like this works very constructively for the government, that is, helps the SNS election machinery, which sees its chance in such disunity.
Vučić is aware that, if unification takes place and the opposition miraculously stands behind the students in the election process with logistics and absolute help, he has nothing to ask for and will end up like Viktor Orban recently in Hungary.
Regardless of the fact that the elections in Serbia have been taking place for fourteen years according to the same matrix, with the good help of the police and the judiciary, it is simply impossible, even under such conditions, to defend this kind of mafia rule if, for example, there are twenty controllers at eight and a half thousand polling stations, and this means that the opposition forces are mobilized and around two hundred thousand people are provided who will be ready to take care of and defend the electoral will of the citizens of Serbia.
Everyone is aware of what I am saying now, the only question is whether such and such an opposition Serbia has the strength for it. If that does not happen, the next elections will take place in the same way as we had the opportunity to see in the past years, both in local and republican elections.
Serbia’s opposition, come to your senses, otherwise all of us will be written badly, and that’s precisely because of you, not because of Vučić. Therefore, only students have a chance and only they can, in the way explained above, tear off the head of the hundred-headed fascist hydra… there…
