Voting for the "Trojka" candidates is actually voting for Schmidt, Murphy, and ultimately for HDZ

(Patria) - In less than ten days, citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina will go to the polls for the Local Elections. Although municipal and city councilors, mayors, and city mayors are being elected, it is already clear that this will be a kind of referendum on whether a vote for the "Trojka" candidates is also a vote for HDZ, and a vote for Schmidt and Murphy.

Everything that the current "Trojka" authorities have done in the past two years since they were imposed for it, cannot be viewed separately from the interests of HDZ and outside the context of Schmidt's and Murphy's assistance to it.

Thanks to "Trojka", thanks to Schmidt's suspension of the FBiH Constitution, and thanks to Murphy's assistance to all of this, HDZ has taken over the political life of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The agenda of the "Trojka" leaders on the necessity of making compromises has shown in practice that between the political goals of HDZ and the "Trojka" seats, the interests of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina always and only suffer, in all possible fields and areas. While HDZ is realizing its decades-long goals, the upstarts from "Trojka" are playing the role of a new elite.

It is difficult to list all the harmful concessions that "Trojka" has made to the detriment of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, because these were not incidents but a usual political practice to which they tried to accustom the public by normalizing their treacherous actions.

However, just like the harmful moves, the patterns of behavior that "Trojka" has practiced in the political life of BiH also testify to the scale of the disaster that has befallen the citizens.

Mild towards enemies, no words spared for neighbors

It is not by chance that "Trojka" officials have spoken with carefully chosen words about those who are declared enemies of Bosnia and Herzegovina (such as SNSD and HDZ, Čović and Dodik), nor have they coincidentally hugged and greeted them warmly.

It is not by chance that they have called political competitors from pro-Bosnian parties fascists, Islamists, and false patriots. The fact that "Trojka" officials choose their words when speaking about those who are clear and open enemies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and do not choose their words at all when speaking about those who are not, clearly indicates the moral character of "Trojka's" political action.

The fact that the main protagonists of "Trojka" value peace and compromise with those who do not love BiH and want to destroy it more than any cooperation with pro-Bosnian parties.

The fact that they initiate conflicts not with the enemies of the state, but exclusively and almost always with their immediate neighbors, indicates a distortion of basic values in a society that fought for the existence of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a state. Citizens will, among other things, express their opinion on this distortion in the elections.

Betrayal of civic BiH

The erosion of values in "Trojka's" politics is best seen in their attitude towards the activities of High Representative Christian Schmidt.

Although it is clear that "Trojka" has no ability to object to those who unconstitutionally imposed them into power, it seems to citizens that "Trojka's" silence, especially from SDP and Naša stranka, regarding Schmidt's activities in overturning the European Court of Human Rights ruling in the "Kovačević" case is completely unreasonable. It seems that SDP and Naša stranka, as civic parties, should have reacted to this.

However, there is no reaction from either SDP or Naša stranka because they themselves have become aware that they can no longer lie to citizens that they advocate for equality among citizens and a civic state, just as Sabina Ćudić lied that she lobbied for the "Kovačević" ruling, even though she knew nothing about the case, but that did not prevent Naša stranka from simultaneously sabotaging the Kovačević case through agents.

In that insidious sabotage, they were precisely the forerunners of what Christian Schmidt is doing today in the interest of HDZ. And that is why a vote for "Trojka" is also a vote for HDZ and a vote for Schmidt.

Croatia's Reserve Foreign Minister

A vote for "Trojka" is also a vote for the losing policy of American Ambassador Michael Murphy, because just as his protégé Elmedin Konaković embarrasses Bosnia and Herzegovina on the foreign policy level by acting as Croatia's reserve foreign minister, so Michael Murphy embarrasses the United States of America on the foreign policy level, as he is unable to realize American, let alone Bosnian-Herzegovinian interests regarding the Southern Interconnection, being manipulated by the Plenković-Čović duo.

Konaković and Murphy act as complete clowns about whom Plenković and Čović make jokes. And that is why a vote for "Trojka" is also a vote for Murphy and a continuation of the weakening of relations between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the United States of America.

Undignified silence

All of the above is more than enough for citizens to punish the catastrophic policy of "Trojka". Because it is precisely the candidates of "Trojka" who have not opposed or conceded to HDZ in any way.

The candidates of "Trojka" did not oppose the smooth talk towards the enemies of the state, which went so far that "Trojka" officials bowed their heads and remained silent at the cursing of genocide and the glorification of so-called Herceg-Bosna.

The candidates of "Trojka" did not raise their voices against the killing of the idea of a civic state, but rather remained silent about it. The candidates of "Trojka" did not raise their voices against Konaković's subservience to Zagreb, but rather remained silent about it.

On October 6th, the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina have the opportunity to adequately speak out about this silence of "Trojka", or rather, about the undignified attitude towards issues of vital importance for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
