Response of the people to the DOS rulers
targets - 14.08.2002 12:14
The Head Committee of the Socialist Party of Serbia issued on August 10, 2002 the following statement:
RESPONSE OF THE PEOPLE TO THE DOS RULERS
Thousands of citizens, SPS members and not, today gave their signatures to support the candidacy of Slobodan Milosevic. Flocking to the offices of the Head Committee of the SPS, as well as City and Municipal Committees around Serbia, they demonstrated that the candidacy of Slobodan Milosevic represents the will of the people.
The puppet regime in Serbia is terrified by the possibility that this will could be fulfilled. Their panic is best illustrated by the so-called "opinion" handed down by the Republican Election Commission. This Commission is one of numerous state organs which have been instrumentalized to protect, at any cost, the position of the current power-holders.
The Republican Election Commission was misused even before the collection of signatures for the candidacy of Slobodan Milosevic began. Although it is not authorized to interpret the Constitution, the Commission allowed itself to declare in writing that Slobodan Milosevic "couldn't bea candidate". This despite the fact that the right to vote and to be elected is guaranteed to any citizen by the Constitution of Serbia. This is as a fundamental right.
That this was a panic-gesture by DOS has been exposed in a statement issued by the CESID. This organization is paid by Western
circles supposedly to monitor the election process. In fact it has a different assignment. This is to make sure the outcome of elections is in accordance with the will of foreign capital.
An economic lesson was revealed during the 2000 elections and coup d'état in our country. It was demonstrated that with Serbia and some other recently colonized countries, it is far cheaper and more profitable to buy some individuals than to buy factories. Thus the CESID representative dutifully stated that the candidacy of Slobodan Milosevic would "be a misuse of the right of candidacy, although that right is in itself indisputable."
So, DOS attempts, in contradiction to the Constitution, and mis-using the authority of the Republican Election Commission, a state organ, to deny the right of candidacy.
Since everybody can see that this is an undisputable right, they bring out the CESID "experts" to explain - what? That the indusputable expression of the people's will constitutes the "misuse of a right"!
In the Republic of Serbia, as in any other state, the holders of sovereignty are the citizens, i.e. the people. One who ignores that truth must appear, sooner or later, before the judgement of the people, from which there is no appeal!
We call on citizens to continue to express their support for Slobodan Milosevic, the candidate of the Socialist Party of Serbia and of the entire people of Serbia!
Their attempt to frustrate the will of the people shows that DOS must depart. The only solution for the future and freedom of Serbia is early elections and on all levels immediatelly!
The Socialist Party of Serbia was and has remained big because it is together with the people. We call on all truly democratic and patriotic forces to support the candidacy of Slobodan Milosevic and to start joint and decisive political action for early general elections, so that the puppet regime can be replaced by a government based on the people's will!
Slobodan for President! Freedom for Serbia!
NOTE REGARDING THE ABOVE: In late July, elections for the post of the President of Republic of Serbia were called to be held September 29, 2002. Slobodan Milosevic was twice elected to that post. The first time was in 1990. In 1992 he decided to call early elections, thus undercutting political disturbances in Serbia fomented by the pro- Western opposition. He was elected again.
In 1997 Slobodan Milosevic ran successfully for President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He was overthrown by the coup d'état in October 2000.
The Constitution of the Republic of Serbia guarantees every citizen the right to vote and be elected. It also states that an individual can be elected only twice as President of the Republic; but since the constitution makes the right to be elected unlimited, the two-term restriction is considered to mean "two terms in a row," as is the case in other countries. Moreover Slobodan Milosevic used less than half his first mandate.
There is no doubt that in Serbia today no politician has public support comparable to Slobodan Milosevic. His candidacy is a restrained response by the people to DOS, which rules Serbia for foreign interests.
The Republican Election Commission is only authorized to judge whether candidates' applications are formally complete - i.e., to check whether the required 10,000 signatures are valid, and other formalities. But the puppet regime has coerced the Commission to issue a written Opinion that Slobodan Milosevic "couldn't be a candidate".
Demonstrating who is in control, an August 9 press conference dealing in general with the presidential election was addressed by a group called CESID. This DOS organization has been openly - and in violation of Serbian law - funded by the National Democratic Institute, a sub-group of the notorious National Endowment for Democracy (NED). The US government set up NED and NDI explicitly to foster Fifth Column organizations in nations targeted for destruction by the US and its allies.
Addressing the press conference, CESID representative Marijana Pajvancic said that a candidacy by Slobodan Milosevic would " be a misuse of the right of candidacy, although that right is in itself indisputable."
In fact her position is disputed not only by constitutional experts, but by the ultimate judges, the people of the Republic of Serbia.
On August 10 another session of the Republican Election Commission was held in Belgrade. The only representative of the Socialist Party of Serbia in the Commission, lawyer Dragan Tomasevic strongly appealed against the apparent political misuse of the Commission, which is not even authorized to interpret the Constitution. The previous session of the Commission in which it adopted and issued the "Opinion" against Milosevic's candidacy was called against the Commission Rules, on short notice (just a couple of hours). This prevented Mr. Tomasevic from taking part. He asked: "Is there any right of which President Milosevic is not deprived?"
The Commission rejected Tomasevic's appeal and voted once again to confirm its previous Opinion. In protest, Dragan Tomasevic left the session.
