“This whole thing makes as much sense as telling your friends you’re going to have a picnic, invite them to the picnic, but at the same time tell them you do not have food nor drink nor a picnic location and you can’t actually organise a picnic, but you have a man who will grill the meat, but he does not even own a grill. On Tuesday, the four left-wing parties had to address their voters as political cuckoos in the selected media, proposing a candidate for a formateur without political capital. In other words, they had to propose a new face because their faces don’t count. “Economist Rado Pezdir commented on the idea of a” constitutional arc” of a new possible centre-left government for Požareport.
The media in the hands of the transitional left, the radical left opposition parties LMŠ, SAB, SD and the Left with their satellites of NGOs and academics sucked into the state budget, are demanding that the current government resigns. Six months of being in the opposition has had some detrimental effects on health of the former long-time rulers. Instead of cooperating in difficult times and resolving the COVID-19 crisis, they only care about power. The left-wing electorate has been for more than sixteen years looking for a messiah on the left-wing political pole, who would play the role of the former long-time leader on the left, Janez Drnovšek.
In his column, Pezdir points out that the leftists aim to trigger the domino effect of the overthrow of the current government with the so-called independent figure, referring to Jože P. Damijan. This would send a message to part of the left-wing electorate that the ego-trips of the opposition parties LMŠ, SD, SAB and Levica had disappeared and made room for the man who would be appointed to the executive function.
They did not catch Čeferin, Mermal or Colarič, but they caught a useful idiot and financially indebted Jože P. Damijan
Unfortunately, we have seen such scenarios on the left many times. The tactics of the new faces is no longer as effective, hence the left had to change its game. But all in all, this is a new joke of the left political network, where Jože P. Damijan, in his role of messiah of the nation, is only repeating the empty phrases of the four left-wing opposition parties..
Pezdir writes: “If the parties wanted to find a common denominator, they would not hide behind a puppet formateur. At the same time, this is no joke, because this declaration acts as an external intervention, forcing the four parties into a joint public commitment, backed up by a proposal for a formateur.” He draws attention to the words of former SD president and professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Igor Lukšič, that the new technical government would be a grey area for those who do not wish to be elected, but nonetheless want to govern politicians on the left.
In a desperate search for a messiah on the left political pole, former Drnovšek’s adviser Dejan Verčič said in an interview with Delo months ago that “the directors” were looking for a character who would be willing to sacrifice himself for the network of the transitional left. They tried with Aleksandar Čeferin, Krka director Jože Colarič, BTC City president and partial owner Jože Mermal, but they all rejected the role of the useful idiot.
“As if they had not known that all serious candidates would first ask if they had enough MPs for such a maneuver. Nevertheless, even when the answer as no, “the directors” carried out the maneuver. Sad, very sad, ”Pezdir commented on the new desperate attempt of the former ruling parties LMŠ, SD, SAB and Levica.
They would work with a party whose president he had recently called a whore
The PR attempts for the technical government are completely misguided. The former Šarec’s government, consisted of LMŠ, SD, SAB, DeSUS, SMC and the “supra-coalition” Left. However, Marjan Šarec, who resigned and pushed the majority of the left political sphere into opposition, now expects that SMC, DeSUS and NSi will join them immediately because of one initiative written on seven pages. Let’s not forget that Jože P. Damijan explained that members of DeSUS are so dumb, “that they elected Janša’s whore from a Styrian
village fete as their president?” DeSUS party has always acted on the orders of others for the past sixteen years, thus Pezdir wonders whether “obedient farmhands and maidservants must depend on the will of others who form and dismantle governments?
He goes on to say that it is simply not worthwhile for the current government coalition parties to jump on the train that has already derailed once. The only option for the aforementioned parties SMC, DeSUS and NSi is to be lured there by the money of the left. Pezdir warns that the entire political, media, academic and non-governmental apparatus of the transitional left wants to force DeSUS and SMC parties to leave Janša’s government by convincing them that in the future no one will accuse them of Slovenia becoming a subalpine colony of Orban’s Hungary as long as they leave the coalition.
For the sake of the new project, everyone humiliated themselves
A researcher of udboeconomics in the former regime and an insider in the Irangate affair asks Damijan how he will be able to control the greedy lobbies of individual parties that fought a civil war for loot in state-owned companies during Šarec’s government. In this political mess, he is surprised by the role of the SD leader Tanja Fajon, when she herself had said that new faces in politics can no longer be a substitute for solving problems on the left pole of Slovenian politics. With these words, the times of political amateurism are supposed to end for the left. That is why it is so much worse that a few days later, after a political promotion in Odlazek’s media empire, Fajon humiliated herself with Damijan, who has “very good relations with their worst competitors – the Left. Bizarre, isn’t it? ”
Fajon, as a possible party president with the role of Damijan, announces that she, as the president of SD, will bring SD to the political top, “but the party will not have a prime minister, on the contrary, as a winning party, our candidate for prime minister will be nominated by our competitors.” For Pezdir, the modern tactics of the proud successors of KP Slovenia represent a bizarre political strategy. “What Fajon is doing is the castration of the SD, as a creation of the strongest party on the left, which will not be able to decide on anything,” Rado Pezdir commented on the situation in the party of Social Democrats.
Pezdir also points out that the game is run by the media and their editors. They “decide something in agreement with the grey, and the four left-wing parties have to do it, no questions asked. This action of proposing a formateur, dictated to the four left parties by the media and greyness is the ultimate fiasco. Sad.”
