How the police will seize illegally acquired bitcoins, why the former members of the regime did not invest even in the toilets and who wants our region to swim in blood? Look up answers in the new episode of #CoupletChorusRebuttals.
Twenty items on the agenda fit in three days of discussion, a little bit of tax and finances, a little bit of regional relationships, a little bit of criticism towards the opposition. Explaining the benefits of the agreement with Albania on crossing the border with an ID card, the Minister of the Interior Aleksandar Vulin sets the topic “Balkans to Balkanians”
“Only those who do not believe in the strength of Serbia, in the strength of the Serbian people, can be afraid of our opening and of faster flow of people and capital. President Aleksandar Vučić had the courage to say – the Balkans to the Balkanians, and I ask you to support that sentence and convey to all citizens of Serbia that this is actually good news.“
Some MPs understood this slogan as an invitation to investors, the others criticised the western world. Aleksandar Mirković, Milenko Jovanov, and Ljiljana Malušić.
“It seems to me that the Balkans to the Balkanians, as the President, Aleksandar Vučić, said, has finally given us the opportunity to decide and apply together for all foreign investments in order to raise the quality of life in our countries to a higher level.“
“Nothing has changed, ladies and gentlemen, since Bismarck’s famous sentence that the whole Balkans is not worth as much as the bones of a Pomeranian soldier. That’s how they all see us. Now the key question, for all of us, especially for the younger generations, is whether we will continue to be fools who constantly stumble over the same stone, or will we finally learn lessons from our painful and blood-soaked past.“
“Why am I talking about the ‘Mini-Schengen’? Because the point of the story is to connect the region. There was enough blood, there was enough war. Precisely European Union, I’m not saying all of them, but most of them, want something to happen here, they want us to swim in blood. Well, that’s enough. Whoever wants a war, may the war be in their house. Nevermore, people. Nevermore.“
And in the debate on new currencies, there were those who admitted that they did not know what they were supposed to vote for. Let us hear the question asked by Dragan Marković Palma, part of the answer of Minister Siniša Mali and the conclusion made by Ivica Dačić.
“What is a bitcoin? Whose money is that? What does it mean that he buys a machine and digs and now, I don’t know, he earns this much, that much.“
“These are cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is the most famous. There are several of these cryptocurrencies and they said ‘let’s use this bitcoin as a means of payment’ and they found enough people, a critical mass of people who accepted it.“
“I know that this is quite complicated, because I’ve just asked Minister Vulin how the police will seize illegally acquired bitcoins, but we are already entering into metaphysical discussions, and that is not on our today’s agenda.“
At this session, there were also terrible criticisms of the opposition, but this time we have chosen an amusing one: Luka Kebara.
“For decades, our dream has been a normal toilet with a functional, let’s say, toilet, that is, toilet paper, soap. It was an abstract notion. Those members of that former tycoon regime, that Đilas, that Jeremić, that Tadić, they did not invest even in the most basic things, let alone procure some modern IT systems, computer equipment, network equipment and so on.”
For the Open Parliament, Mirjana Nikolić.
