The city councillor, who wants to get into the national assembly and is willing to sacrifice people’s lives for his purpose – especially the lives of the anti-vaxxers – called on the representatives of the current government to immediately lift the RVT conditions (recovered, vaccinated, tested) and also resign immediately. This call is, of course, not really intended for the government, as much as it is intended for gaining sympathisers and the electoral votes – unless Stevanović has some sort of a superiority complex and actually believes that he can afford to make such appeals. “In this ongoing madness, I am no longer convinced that such an option cannot succeed – that is, for Slovenia to get a political party led by a hooligan who is also a fired police officer turned insurance agent,” Miran Videtič commented on the matter on Bojan Požar’s TV show. But apparently, it is also pretty clear to Zoran Stevanovič that this madness will not last very long.
“In recent days, we have witnessed two major protests with a political connotation. The protests are expected to grow even larger and be attended by even higher numbers of people. We strive and call for calmness, we bring love and unity, and yet the people are increasingly angry. How many protests there will be in the future and how much anger will unite the people depends on you alone, the members of the current government of the Republic of Slovenia. You carry full responsibility for what will happen on the streets and the squares. We urge you to immediately lift the RVT conditions (recovered, vaccinated, tested) and also resign from your positions immediately. This government no longer enjoys the trust of the people. If you believe that the opposite is true, then you should have no objections to testing that trust in early elections. Take responsibility and show that you care for the country and the people. It is not too late to show compassion and, above all, populism,” the local politician, who would like to become a state politician, wrote in a message to the representatives of the current government.
Ever since the city councillor Zoran Stevanović figured out that a certain range of people like to attend his anti-vaccination protests, where they get excited about Werner, he has started to become more and more complacent and presumptuous. He is far from being able to count up to 100 thousand supporters, but he obviously does not care about such minor details. A crowd of a few thousand people is good enough, especially if you know how to play on their emotions and maybe promise them something along the way. However, Stevanović does not take responsibility for the climate at these protests – “We are trying our best and calling for peace, we bring love and unity,” he wrote, even though he is also very passionately inciting people against the government and the anti-corona legislative measures in his video recordings. He even accused the authorities of carrying a coup d’état – against themselves, apparently. And among other things, he also suggested to his followers that the authorities had sold them for about 250 euros – and the goal of all of this is supposedly a 75-percent forced vaccination rate and the adoption of a genocidal amendment to the Communicable Diseases Act. Stevanović believes that the only way to make sure that we do not return to the dark period of the Middle Ages is to bock and halt public life in Slovenia. Love and unity, huh? More like exploiting the epidemiological crisis, naïve people, and the indifference to the health of all Slovenians. All of this, just to get some electoral votes.
This government no longer enjoys the trust of the people. If you believe that the opposite is true, then you should have no objections to testing that trust in early elections,” Stevanović called on the current government. He is well aware of the fact that he could only get a couple more votes during the ongoing epidemic when all of the opponents of the anti-corona measures, as well as the ardent anti-vaxxers, are on his side. Not all of them, though, as he has already gotten into a fight with Ladislav Troha. Instead of relying on reason, his target group prefers to rely on its feelings, so Stevanović must, of course, strike while the iron it is still hot, as it will soon be too late. But there is no need for people to fear that the current government might decide to not show that it cares a lot about the state and the people. They will certainly not let a party, which has already made it pretty clear that it does not care about the people, break into parliament.
