SDA strategy without responsibility: If not even, deadlock is just fine

By: Sead Omeragic

Bureaucracies of political parties are slow and inefficient. They only serve the needs of bureaucrats. They have proven rather competent when it comes to personal gain – to employ their family members and alike. However, when it comes to doing something for the country, when a sacrifice for the common good is required, when the spring cleaning is needed at home, they become slow, they delay and procrastinate until all the deadlines are missed.

After poor results of SDA on the local elections, these days four of its delegates at the state parliament have left the club. The citizens are wondering if there is ruling majority in the country at all. Will there be any soul-searching inside of SDA? Why do they always want to be even? For how long will they consider deadlock the best option? Things are different in the neighborhood. Thus far, Serbia has held 6 extraordinary elections.

In HDZ Croatia, the political structure headed by Tomislav Karamarko was quickly dismissed, only on the suspicion that there was a conflict of interest involving his wife. If this principle was applied in SDA, even the doorman would not survived. In SDP, Zoran Milanovic resigns due to poor electoral result. Then a new leader is selected and things move on. As for SDA, they don't believe they have any problems.

Four respectable members of SDA who are delegates at the State parliament, have been alerting SDA leader Bakir Izetbegovic for more than a year to the necessity of reforms. Izetbegovic has been neglecting their pleas.

Poor electoral result of SDA does not seem to worry any one. Although they are declaratively connected to the state, the despair of the people indicate the results of that connection. They disregard initiatives for extraordinary congress. Inside SDA, Izetbegovic has too many of those who have distanced themselves from the people by light years. The party power produces corruption.

It would be quite easy to investigate sources of immense private property of SDA's moguls. It can be easily seen. Does Izetbegovic think that the sick tissue will disappear by itself? And that SDA can count on the citizens to keep their eyes shut before the obvious? The party bureaucracy is at the core of corruption.

The party produces everything good and bad that will splash the country. SDA is in power with huge responsibility. Judging from the outside, it does not have enough strength to oppose to the forces which hit harder and harder at the foundations of this country. Eight persons who used to be members of SDA, won the mayor seats at the recent local elections. Izetbegovic has referred to their past membership with SDA. What's the catch?

Should we believe that those people will not betray interests of the state? Does Izetbegovic presume that by his relationship with the four state MPs who have been requesting the reforms in SDA for too long?

IT is probably presumed that they will stick with SDA as regards all key issues relating to state-formation, the rest does not matter. SDA wins the elections based on identical citizens' fear and concern for the future of this country.

The loyal ones are exhausted and with a problem: They see their loyalty shamelessly misused for private purposes. Drawing on their patriotic loyalty, some public companies are also equally irresponsible using the citizens.

SDA's party and family army have penetrated all pores of those companies. Most of the citizens continue to use their services because they are state-owned. Unfortunately, we often forgive them their disrespect and brutality. We keep forgetting that inefficiency and incompetence which rule in those state companies are the result of an extreme nepotism and illegitimate hiring. And that the state is just a passing phenomenon which always tricks the loyal. The state is eventually just a collateral damage.
