I guess you know the popular saying "if you can't kick the ass, kick the ass"? Imitating Aesop, since it is a fable, I will allow myself to interpret the proverb, emphasizing that the unknown author wanted to capture the unpleasant moment that each of us has encountered in life, that is, when we cannot punish the guilty, so the rage we reduce it to the unimportant. So the culprit is the donkey and the donkey is the irrelevant one.

Why is this important? Well, to explain the stupidity that happened the other day, when the president of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, on a commercial flight, refused to enter the regular procedure of checking her phone and luggage at the Skopje airport. Without going into who was right, I will say who was wrong. That is, the whole circus could have been avoided if Vjosa had not called the President of the Assembly, Afrim Gashi, who sent the head of his security (with initials S.S.) to help her.

S.S. he came to the airport with several others, where according to what we read in the media, he took out a gun, pushed and threatened. There is no doubt that S.S., to put it colloquially, behaved as if he disagreed. He was not allowed to pull out a gun, he was not allowed to threaten and he was not allowed to push the airport officials, who insisted on carrying out the procedure. But let's not forget that S.S. he ran to the airport on the orders of Afrim Gashi, who reacted to, I guess, the dramatic conversation with Osmani, who for some reason did not want her phone and luggage to be scanned. So Gashi is the one who gave the order, I guess verbally, and it was addressed to S.S. from which it follows that the bodyguard acted according to the instructions of the President of the Assembly. One would think that the blame for the unfortunate event lies with Gashi, because he is the one in charge. But no, it wasn't like that.

It was not like that, because the Minister of Internal Affairs, Panče Toškovski, explained it that way.

– The official who, from the position of security for the Speaker of the Assembly, headed to the VIP lounge, all in order, according to the evidence (whose?), to initially calm the situation. How he reacted is another matter. The action he took is absolutely unacceptable. Even if he went to calm the situation, he decided to act against the law - says the minister, clarifying in the style of Aesop, that Gashi ordered S.S. to go to the airport, but the latter is solely responsible for taking out a gun.

Interestingly, the attitude of the ruling party VMRO-DPMNE is also similar, from where they order Afrim Gashi to remain the president of the Assembly, because "responsibility is not located with him", even though he gave the instructions to the security during the incident with the Kosovo president Vyosa Osmani.

So, the Aesop in the case of VMRO-DPMNE is an upgrade to the statement of Toškovski, who sees no fault in Gashi, and consequently the party emphasized that his responsibility was not "located" in the procedure, so the man can stay in his chair in The Assembly.

But let's go back to the initial proverb, which I have already elaborated on, which is dedicated to the guilty and the insignificant, shown throughout the fable of the donkey and the donkey. In the case, Toshkovski hit S.S (samar), and the important Gashi made us all donkeys.

If I were to be Aesop through and through, I would end this fable of ours with the following interpretation. The real president was saved by the knight in shining armor, that is, VMRO-DPMNE is not disintegrating the coalition with Vredi, so it communicates with the public as if it is mentally retarded.
