First, there is no opposition in parliament, nameless assents sit in the most important democratic institution, second, the government formed from such a parliamentary majority has no legitimacy, occupying ministerial positions does not mean implementing the decisions of the parliament but the decisions of a man.

Thirdly, all this is seen by the international community, and especially by the European Union, which knew that this would happen as it considered it very important in the conversations with the opposition that would also go to the polls.

Fourth, early parliamentary, local and presidential elections have already been announced for the near future, showing that Vučić can no longer say that this is a democratic country without an important institution in parliament: the opposition.

Fifth, the authorities have already announced talks on electoral conditions with the mediation of the European Parliament.

So, it is burning under its feet and faster and better after the elections that were unfair and dishonest and in which some opposition participated, and the government said that there has never been a greater degree of democracy in our country and that the opposition you have the right to boycott because you have a low rating. conversations about electoral conditions.

Why urgently discuss electoral conditions with those who do not have a good rating?

On the other hand, electoral results do not exist.

The parties and movements that participated in the elections were mostly smaller and newer, so they could not achieve a good result, firstly because the majority of the opposition voters decided to boycott the elections, and secondly because unfair and unfair conditions.

The only result of the elections is the appearance of the opposition on national frequencies, two or three times, and the spread of the truth about the government scandals.

Two or three times on the national frequency are not enough, and that is one of the reasons why the boycott began.

The conclusion is clear, the boycott of the fraudulent elections in July was the right decision.

The original reasons for boycotting the fake July elections were closed media for opposition political actors and people oppressed by the mafia regime, pressure on voters, blackmail, black jeeps, double lists, registrations, calls, threats, usurpation of all media frequently national of the governing structure. , the lynching of politicians and opposition activists.

The 1 million 5 movement that I was a part of until a few months ago, despite advocating a boycott, made the decision to go to the polls: the decision was wrong.

The machinations, fraud and pressure of the regime, the fact that nothing can be done in the fraudulent elections, that two or three appearances on the national frequency cannot produce a result in the sensitization of public opinion, demonstrated that the decision to go to such elections was immature.

The boycott was a consequence of experience in political action, and going to the polls was a sincere belief that a different approach could achieve the result.

This time experience defeated faith.

The fact that the movements and parties that participated in the elections did not harm the results of the boycott only speaks of the wisdom of the decision not to go to the fraudulent elections.

In the end, we are facing a fight for electoral conditions, individual or joint, by conversation or in the street.

Anyone who is not willing to fight together is obliged to fight as an individual, and those who cannot fight alone are obliged to unite.

Anyone who has a bad opinion about the opposition who does not like it, is obliged to remain silent.

The fight for electoral conditions is not just a fight of political organizations, but a fight of all of us, for the right to vote and a better Serbia.
