Whoever survives Nikšić and his Government twice will flee into the dark, because the dawn of the red dawn produces misery and hunger!

Those before us were in power too long and did many bad things to you, we will uncover that. Roughly speaking, that is the motto of the current authorities in the Federation and from the Federation at the level of BiH. You will never hear this imposed and projected government say how they will fix what they accuse the previous ones of. Instead, they justify their mistakes with propaganda about the catastrophic nature of the previous government.

The Federation Government itself is a mistake, and a rather fatal one for this entity, and given the impact of that entity's economy on the entire country, we can consider it fatal for Bosnia and Herzegovina as well.

They announced that the day would dawn when the minimum wage for BiH workers would be a million marks, then they made excuses about missing this and that, and finally, with a decision, an act that does not obligate employers, they increased that minimum wage by a whole 2,300 feninga. A circus, 23 marks here and there, if the employer is so kind, will be the wage increase for workers in the Federation. The average construction worker will spend that raise on food and daily needs at work for one day.

So, the minimum wage increase gifted to workers by the imposed Government of Nermin Nikšić could cover one meal for a construction worker who works 8 to 10 hours a day.

And when he comes home, so full from Nermin Nikšić's raise and his Government, he will be greeted by 4 percent more expensive gas. From the increased minimum wage, he might even save enough to pay for the more expensive gas, but when he turns on the TV to rest a bit, he will see experts from SDP, NiP, and Our Party talking about how electricity must also go up in price. And then it will dawn on him, and he will pack up his family without a second thought and leave for Slovenia, Germany, the end of the world where his salary could even allow him to go to the seaside, not just cover a meal at work and bills.

Here, on the other hand, pensioners will remain, because they neither have the strength nor can they flee. Their pensions will increase by five percent, so they will somehow be able to offset that gas price hike. When electricity goes up, instead of dawn, darkness will fall on them, because they will have to give up bread and medicine to avoid being pursued later for unpaid bills.

All of this will be watched by students and young people, waiting for the opportunity for their morning to dawn when they will call themselves the diaspora, but they will cure their nostalgia for the homeland with the money they earned and from which they can live decently.

And those of us who remain, because fortunately we do not depend on the troika's dawn, will have to listen to Nikšić, Konaković, and Forto talk about how everything was bad before. As if now it is good and getting better. The fact that two-thirds of the population of the entity and the country they lead cannot live on their earned pension and salary is attributed to global trends.

It is clear to everyone, including those who projected the Troika and HDZ as the government in the Federation, that the cart is uncontrollably racing downhill and that the Federation faces social chaos triggered by unprofessional management.

What began as a mistake can never produce a good result. This is especially true for the government in the Federation, which, as a mistake, I believe even its creator, US Ambassador Michael Murphy, increasingly sees. Nikšić already once, at the end of his term, set the Federation of BiH on fire, and there is no major center in that entity where the flame of discontent did not ignite some institution.

The way the imposed FBiH Government operates and the price increases it imposes on citizens stirs, still quietly, citizens' discontent. However, once they warm up on expensive gas and get charged up on pricier electricity, the flame of discontent will surely burn the illusions of the imposed Sarajevo tricolors that they rule worse but longer than their predecessors.

Because, whoever survives Nikšić twice will know that the dark, no matter how deep, is much better than the red dawn!
