Boiling of blood

But a man who came to power by promoting change and criticizing others for illegal behavior now does the same: he asks to be interviewed in the office, "because this has happened before, for which there is evidence ". One cannot act as a man above the law. Weather we are fed up with people above the law

I would really like for the election campaign to start and end sometime between today and the first day of work in 2025.

But they say the fun is bigger than Istanbul, so I will have to start working on myself to somehow endure all the stupid actions that will be brought to us on screens and social networks until February 9, when the elections are held.

What we learned from parliamentary life in these 23 years is that in each election we saw repeated actions of those in power and mainly similar accusations coming from the opposition. Neither party shows an iota of creativity or innovation that would make you think seriously, evaluating their political programs, about which would be the best option to vote for.

Even before the start of the working week, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance decided to hold a press conference on Sunday - that is, on a day off, when very little else happens. And of course, the conference was held to show how the Government had decided to forgive all pensioners' children 100 euros each.

Somewhere around 53 million in cash was distributed, for who knows the seventh time already, to help and cheer up two categories of the population. But this time the selected time was clearly electoral: it is the end of the year, on the eve of the holidays that include both Christmas and New Year, a couple of weeks before the start of the campaign.

They say that the budget belongs to Kosovo and that with this government more than ever, this money has been returned to the citizens. In part, it can be said that it is true, but the fact remains that not everyone has enjoyed the benefits of this budget, especially not those who fill it the most.

The irony of all this physical culture with supplements and subsidies is that this money will again be used mainly to buy foreign goods - because we already know very well that our production is at minimum levels.

One of our products, which is said to be plentiful, but which cannot be distributed to everyone, is electricity.

Since the beginning of last week, entire regions have had drastic reductions in electricity, because according to KEDS, high consumption risks blowing up plants that cannot cope with the load.

It should be remembered that the electricity distribution company was sold to the Turks by the Thaçi II Government for very little money, more than a decade ago. According to that contract, if I still remember correctly, KEDS would have to invest some 300 million euros within 15 years in new substations and transformers, among other things.

I don't know if anyone has evaluated the investments made so far or if the planned ones have been made or not. And, if they were done, were the new parameters taken into account, i.e. the increase in the number of housewives, despite the decrease in the population since 2011, when we had the last census.

If these investments are not supervised and controlled, then the problem lies with us - because we did not know how to demand the implementation of the contract where it seems that we are the biggest losers. If they are supervised, and have not been carried out according to the plan, there should be a system of sanctions for a company, in this case, irresponsible that due to insufficient investments leaves a large part of Kosovo without electricity.

The response from the Government, regarding the created situation, was clumsy and immediately became the object of ridicule on social networks: "there is no electricity because there is economic development". Contradictio in adjecto they say to this work.

The result of the lack of electricity means that all the appliances, which were subsidized by the Government for energy-saving heating, will soon be replaced by traditional wood and coal and we will go back to massive air pollution.

This indicates a lack of analysis of all the elements and circumstances that had to be taken into account when deciding on efficient equipment. Appliances yes, but electricity no.

However, electrification does not only happen in the establishments that conduct electricity, but also in the CEC. In one of the meetings of the CEC when it was decided on the certification of political parties, it was decided that Lista Srpska would not be certified, despite the fact that the Party Registration Office had recommended that it be certified, because it met the legal conditions, based on the statements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Consensus was required for a decision - and it was absent. And that was enough for PZAP to overturn this decision and order the CEC to certify it.

Initially, VV, which had initiated the non-certification, said that it would not complain to the Supreme Court, and then changed its mind and will complain, although legally it would hardly be able to achieve its goal.

The chance to demand the banning of this party has been lost because of the implications it had in the terrorist attack in Banjska. A court decision would have served enough to ban the party, but that decision does not exist. If he had existed, he would not have been able to apply for election.

This action of the members of the VV in the CEC cannot be seen otherwise than as part of the campaign, which action was enjoyed by quite a few people, without realizing that the decision was illegal.

After skipping the topic of Lista Srpska, the debate turned to the request to extend the deadline for the registration of diaspora voters for another three days. The meeting was boycotted by the opposition representatives and in the absence of a quorum, the decision could not be taken.

That means, voters from the diaspora had 120 days to register, while VV representatives asked for three additional days. The fact that the decision could not be taken even in the next meeting that was held online, sometime before midnight on Thursday, when the deadline was closing, resulted in the registration of almost 30 people in two days.

Thus, in these elections, over 100 thousand people will vote by mail or in diplomatic missions, while listening to party representatives thanking them for registration, they all claim that the largest number of them will vote for them. Although there is no single certainty that all of them will vote. As it happens to us in Kosovo - it is a citizen's obligation to vote, but often more than half never turn out.

It is a legal obligation for citizens to respond to the invitations of the Prosecutor's Office, but this does not seem to be the case for Albin Kurti.

The stubborn insistence that he be questioned as a witness in the Prime Minister's Office is completely contrary to the maxim "all are equal before the law". We are not all equal, and we continue to be.

But a man who came to power by promoting change and criticizing others for illegal behavior now does the same: he asks to be interviewed in the office, "because this has happened before, for which there is evidence ".

If this is true, then it was wrong: the prosecutors did not have to go to the office to interview anyone, just as they should not go now. Finally, the prime minister is invited to testify as a witness. If his testimony can incriminate him for anything, he can choose not to answer. But not to behave like a man above the law. Weather we are fed up with people above the law.

After many, many years, the K'shnells were white and brought the cold of winter.

But here the temperature can even drop to minus 20 and we will hardly fart.

As long as we have politics and the games around it, they will play on our nerves so much that they will always make our blood boil.
