Aleksandar Vučić has left power! He did not fall like a tyrant. He withdrew as an old figure who had outlived his time!
Aleksandar Vučić could not withstand the power of the new, fast and noisy world of social media networks.
History will remember him not for his achievements but for his failures! Not for what he built but for what he destroyed!
Aleksandar Vučić had charm! He was unconventional and was not afraid to experiment. But he was careless and self-destructive!
The very qualities that made him successful and his desire to make himself acceptable were the ones that plunged him into crisis!
Aleksandar Vučić was unable to resist the temptation of power!
For him, morality was a luxury that the political system in Serbia could not afford!
Aleksandar Vučić was a symbol of a system in which political power and economic interests fed off each other. The consequence was the dismantling of the administrative state!
He turned Serbia into a state where laws, administration and security structures were used to consolidate the interests of a ruling group of politicians, businessmen and organized crime!
During Aleksandar Vučić’s rule, control over institutions in Serbia was not an end in itself.
It served to secure wealth, to protect allies and to weaken any mechanism that could hinder the continuity of power.
The “Vučić doctrine” was a revolutionary departure from traditional mafia in the way control is exercised. It shifted the meaning of corruption from an isolated violation of the law to an organized system in which the state becomes an “assistant”!
Within this logic, compromise with the violation of the law was not treason, but necessity.
Aleksandar Vučić will be remembered not for any moral greatness, but for impunity.
Aleksandar Vučić lost the elections yesterday! Since yesterday, he no longer controls events! Now it is they who will control him!.
