Mirror 6 Written by M-r Ivan Joe Petrevski Out of all democratic principles and against, at least, the elementary ethics, the Macedonian political practice, in the last ten days established here (but also worldwide) the already acquired belief for – lets put it politely – the more than humble capacities of our political factors. Not a trend, but a state perfectly immanent of the present political circumstances! Namely, the candidature of Srgan Kerim for a future President of the Republic of Macedonia, as a non-party, mutual candidate of SDSM and DPMNE, turned into a simple masquerade motivated by political calculations and speculations of the few interest groups which rule with our social milieu. Although the epicenter of this discrediting was Srgan Kerim himself, the person in which many people in Macedonia saw the almost certain new (forth) president of the country, and no matter how paradoxical it may sound, Kerim is not the only and even less he is the most serious victim of this synchronized spun, political manipulation of the public and the citizens. Thus, we can conclude: Srgan Kerim may be offended (rightly so) by the vulgar and unscrupulous abuse of his name, but in no case is he the loser in this new Macedonian political episode. His professional background and his political skills, objectively considered, will remain to be (entirely) out of reach for the most party chiefs and chiefs to be, who parade on our Macedonian political scene on longer or shorter tracks. But, the real loss, without doubt, is the institution President, and if you like, even the political system with all the democratic standards (!?) on ILUSTRIRANA REVIJA ZA ISELENICITE OD Makedonija PRE-ELECTION MACEDONIAN SPRING AND PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS MAY GOD KEEP MACEDONIA SAFE D-r Kerim is not the only and even less he is the most serious victim of this synchronized spun, political manipulation of the public and the citizens. He is offended (rightly so) by the vulgar and unscrupulous abuse of his name, but in no case is he the loser in this new Macedonian political episode. – The main favorite of DPMNE who emerged out of nowhere, is the professor Gorge Ivanov, who is a former non-realized SDSM activist, and by the way, the last vice-president of the Macedonian youth communist organization!? which, at least by what we have been persuaded to, it lies. Normally, this example of political instrumentalization for the purpose of the system and social auto- destruction is not our first one, and unfortunately, as it may be, it is not the last one as well. In the past years, there was little we were not witnesses of! Macedonian showed to the world, long ago, that our leaders have some strange Godlike (or immortal) world views with no limits in their own accomplishments. And that in achieving such goals, the questions of price and victim are not valid. The creators of such situations, although confident in the humble mental performances of the public, make a major oversight in that direction. Is it possible that anyone with common sense can swallow the “good-hearted” idea by SDSM for establishing national unity via the hoaxing of the “cuckoo egg” for a non-party candidate. Since when in a democratic society, the national unity (in a multiethnic country) is build exclusively on a common presidential candidate whose nomination is hoaxed as an introduction to a subtle political confrontation, or as an alibi for the political chiefs to eliminate a candidate for whom they are political amateurs!? Or, how is it possible that the nebulous claim made by DPMNE for a personnel crises in SDSM ( as a reply to the initiative) can be grasped by everyone with common sense, knowing that the main favorite of DPMNE who emerged out of nowhere, the professor Gorge Ivanov, is a former non-realized SDSM activist, and by the way, the last vice-president of the Macedonian youth communist organization!? This kind of new derogation of the presidential function and institution will certainly not get by without any repercussions both on internal and external field. Speaking in the name of the truth, we can not praise ourselves with many positive experiences when this institution is in question. The political manipulation culmination in a kind of exhibitionistic practice can not bring about any stability and even less sympathies and support by our friends in the international community. It went so far that the presidential elections to come gained a new and assessing it for its stupidity, the unprecedented coin of electing “the Macedonian Obama”, of course, with direct highlighting of the personality and the work of the former leftist and now exalt rightist Gorge Ivanov. May God be on our side…
