At that moment, one thought was that I could leave and then I would have caused a scandal, and the other was that the host established the rules and that the host, not me, is wrong and that what is better, I tell myself, asked the president Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova. , explaining the recent visit to Sofia and meeting with Bulgarian President Rumen Radev.
So if she stayed, she would be in trouble, and if she left, the trouble would be even bigger, something that has already been sung in the timeless hit of the English punk band "Clash" – Should I stay or should I go.
Yes, punk is long dead, even when I was a boy in Skopje, punks could be counted on the hand and every last one could be found on the "cube" in the square, which suffered in the architectural transformation of the city known as "Skopje 2014". I had never before wondered what happened to those people, and now I began to wonder if any of them ended up in the presidential office? I have no other explanation than that Siljanovska-Davkova's dilemma is the same as that of Mick Jones, the Clash's songwriter.
But let's leave the punk for a moment and do a little reconstruction of the event. The president traveled to Sofia for a theater performance. However, it was not just a cultural event, as she had a meeting with the President of Bulgaria Rumen Radev, which she says was in a great atmosphere. The presidents also had a joint lunch and a photo session, but for some reason they sat down, probably to rest a bit, in a room where there were Bulgarian and EU flags. Or translated into "punk", there was no Macedonian flag in the room, but still. And at that moment, the alarm goes off for the president, who doesn't know what she's thinking. To stay or to leave. If he stays, he will make a bad photo, and if he leaves, he will make a scandal. She, however, remained and caused a stormy reaction on the domestic stage, because not a single Macedonian liked the shot in which the national flag was missing. Citizens, who just a few months earlier gave Siljanovska-Davkova record support in the presidential elections, have now asked her for an explanation. How could she, how dare she?
And she answered: "At that moment, despite the fact that I don't know what's happening in my body, I decided that it's better not to make a scandal anyway, so I didn't make the scandal and the blunder, but the host probably made an oversight or what I expected ? I was expecting someone to tell me beforehand that there would be a recording so that I could answer."
To be honest, I have no idea which Clash song the last paragraph was taken from, and to be even more honest I don't know what exactly she meant. You don't become a punk after three sittings on the "cube", so maybe that's why I don't understand the point about the organism, the gaffe and the host.
So I suggest we stick to what we all understand. On the first part of the statement where the president expresses the punk dilemma. When she says, "if she had stayed, she would have been in trouble, and if she had left, the trouble would have been even greater" and we can conclude that she could have said the same thing the evening when her election victory was announced.
Otherwise, the Bulgarian president showed, as several times before, that he did not enter politics as a punk, but as it should be - as a statesman. He waited for our Goga in a dilemma and skillfully used it to inflict another humiliation on us. And we can only ask ourselves if the president is really our punk or, perhaps, she has a special organism for such blunders and hosts.
Whatever I do, I will make a mistake, that is, if I continue to write I will turn out to be stupid, and if I stop, even more stupid.
