1<\/span> Each session of the Judicial Council resembles an episode of a soap opera and there\u2019s more and more suspense, and it\u2019s very likely that once this season is over we\u2019ll continue watching the adventures of the main characters in the next season as well. The series titled \u201cAll roads lead to the Judicial Council\u201d seems never-ending. The characters in that show are judges who face petitions for dismissal, and in the very next episode, said judges become members of the Judicial Council.<\/p>\n

Three candidates have applied for the positions of the two members of the Judicial Council who resigned. In the same Judicial Council, one of them is facing an initiative for dismissal. As for the other candidate, the Judicial Council received a letter from prosecutors with evidence of an injured party in a case that he led.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all. In this episode, a third character emerges \u2013 a female member of the Judicial Council who has shelved a case against one of the judges long enough for said judge to become a member of the Judicial Council. In the same episode, she joined the Viber meeting, but when the next item on the agenda was the dismissal of a judge who had shelved the case against Mijalkov for the mass wiretapping long enough for its statute of limitations to expire, her Viber crashed and closed. They tried calling her on her phone, a regular phone call, but they were out of luck as she had lost her network connection. It happened exactly during that item on the agenda. No Internet, no phone, a dead line, the subscriber is not available. Hello, hello\u2026 and finally, hey, you fool!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right. We, who believe they\u2019d be ashamed of what they\u2019re doing, are fools.\u00a0 They have a thick skin when it comes to shame. If this were happening in a real soap opera, you\u2019d think, wow, the scriptwriter went too far with this story. But this is not a movie. Having no shame is their natural predisposition to be in that place.<\/p>\n

We keep wondering why they\u2019re not ashamed of what the Dutch ambassador or the Austrian ambassador said. They\u2019re not ashamed of us, the ones who are paying them, and we expect them to be ashamed of foreign taxpayers. Shame on us for expecting them to be ashamed.<\/p>\n

2<\/span> The greatest defeat for SDSM is when, during question time sessions at the Assembly, MPs of VMRO-DPMNE ask Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski why he doesn\u2019t act against DUI and when they threaten that once they come to power they\u2019ll arrest the criminals of the current government.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t this Ali Ahmeti, whose nephew is now buying shopping malls all over Skopje at the age of 25, the same Ali Ahmeti who helped Gruevski rule: How far we\u2019ve come, VMRO is now accusing others of crime. How low has SDSM stooped!? The party that, for 11 years, used DUI\u2019s help to rob the country, to capture state institutions, illegally wiretapped thousands of citizens and at the end stormed the Parliament and never apologised for it, is now threatening SDSM that once they come to power they\u2019ll arrest them.<\/p>\n

On top of that, Artan Grubi appears on television and in the context of Ramiz Merko being put on the US blacklist for corruption says: \u201cThe Anti-Corruption Commission is no good. They haven\u2019t had a single successful case and I hope the next composition will be more successful\u201d.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not cynicism. This is exactly the situation when you\u2019re wondering why the interlocutor isn\u2019t ashamed of what they\u2019re saying, while they\u2019re looking you in the eye and say: Hey, you fool!<\/p>\n

The same way the Government takes us for fools when it says that \u201cthe institutions should act in the case of the mayor of Struga, Ramiz Merko, and Ali Ahmeti\u2019s nephew, Driton\u201d.<\/p>\n

Which institutions? It\u2019s all a mess, maternal uncles, fraternal uncles, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, daughters-in-law, brothers-in-law\u2026 Some are in the Judicial Council, some in the Supreme Court, some in the Prosecutor\u2019s Office, some in the Academy of Judges, some of them are entrepreneurs; some of them have business ideas\u2026\u00a0 You have no idea is someone is someone\u2019s brother or if someone\u2019s mother is also someone\u2019s sister there\u2026 The only thing we do know is they popped out of the party notebooks into those institutions.<\/p>\n

3<\/span> It doesn\u2019t matter at all what the topic for the protest organised by the Church was. As they protested against gender equality and laws on civil registry, they could\u2019ve protested against planting peppers and tomatoes. What does matter is that we now have a social climate where a religious institution is given legitimacy in a secular state to debate who may and may not have rights in a democratic country. In doing so, the clergy propagates intolerance and hatred.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this were happening at a time with VMRO-DPMNE in power. However, this is happening during the rule of a left-wing coalition. First, they allowed the church to consolidate state-owned plots of land to build residential buildings and sell apartments. Now, they\u2019re even playing politics, and priests are telling us how to live in a secular country. Priests and imams will be drafting our laws. Why don\u2019t they change our Constitution as well? A left-wing government turned the church into a political heavyweight.<\/p>\n

Since they\u2019ve been in power, SDSM have been giving their all to disappoint all those who helped them topple Gruevski in those terrible conditions in 2016. Those are the people who believed in progress, justice and the liberation of the state from the parties and that SDSM would make sure that \u201cthat evil will never happen again\u201d. And after they failed to deliver a single offer of good governance, the only thing left for them to do was to offer us faith in God. Their offer has been reduced to god-fearing leftism. Why? Pure populism. They\u2019re adamant about repelling potential voters in an effort to win over all those who\u2019d never vote from them in their right mind.<\/p>\n

The worst is that they\u2019re endangering the foundations of the secular state.<\/p>\n
