Yesterday’s discussion in Parliament did not solve the problem with the shipyards or enlighten the people as to who is responsible for the deadlock that has affected the battered submarines.
It did however manage to agitate an already-charged political atmosphere and to increase the suspicion of scandals, which has been perpetuated in recent years. This is party justified since in public consciousness military supply deals are associated with illegal transactions and political bribes.
However much of a given the investigation of contracts and transactions related to such deals and supplies might be, it is just as much of a given that the generalized targeting of any politicians associated with the negotiation and signing of similar deals invariably leads to an even greater depreciation of the political system. That is that last thing the country needs these days.
With many unresolved problems and a quasi-perpetual negotiation with the troika, it would be much more necessary and to-the-point if there was any possibility of coordinating and forming a united front against the troika demands, instead of all this sterile and pointless conflict. The existing political differences cannot constantly come into the way of forming an alliance. They also cannot become the vehicle for the political elimination of partisan opponents.
The country has a long and hard road ahead before it can regroup and exit the crisis. In this effort, it is necessary for the political and social forces to do their part and cooperate. We need to remember those few things that unite us and set aside the disagreements and clashes that weaken us. The people need to see a discussion in Parliament that does not lead to the defeat of the rival, but one that leads to finding the means to coordinate.
TO VIMA
