POLITICAL DRAMA OVER THE FORMATION OF AN AUXILIARY POLICE UNIT IN REPUBLIKA SRPSKA: SNSD BUILDING A “PARTY ARMY”, OPPOSITION IN SHOCK!
A political storm is brewing in Republika Srpska over the proposed formation of an auxiliary police unit. While the ruling party claims it is to boost security during emergencies, the opposition sees it as a blatant move to create a party army for the SNSD!
Opposition in Panic: “They’re Building a Party Army!”
Delegates from PDP and SDS in the National Assembly of RS are not holding back. Bojan Kresojević from PDP calls the proposal pointless, pointing out that the region lacks even basic reserves for emergencies, let alone extra police forces. “It’s like baking a cake with only strawberries on top but no sponge!” he says.
Ognjen Bodiroga from SDS goes further, warning that the tense atmosphere in Bosnia and Herzegovina makes this a politically reckless move. “This looks like a plan to form a party army for SNSD!” he says, highlighting that the unit members will be armed and salaried, while teachers’ salaries remain laughably low.
SNSD and Interior Minister: “It’s All About Security!”
The SNSD and RS Interior Minister Siniša Karan defend the plan. Karan argues the unit is necessary due to frequent natural disasters—floods, fires, landslides—and that the current police force is overstretched. The ongoing illegal migrant influx also strains resources.
He points out that similar units exist in EU countries and neighboring states like Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia. He also reveals that RS police officers have logged over two million overtime hours, underscoring their workload.
Budget Absurdities and Political Games
The opposition also slams budget decisions, noting that 50 million BAM is earmarked for lobbying, even as EU inspectors were expelled from RS just months ago.
SNSD dismisses opposition claims as malicious and unfounded, but tensions are rising.
What’s Really Going On?
Is the auxiliary police unit truly a necessary response to security challenges, or just another political ploy by SNSD to consolidate power? The opposition warns it’s a step toward militarizing the party, urging citizens to stay alert.
Conclusion
As debates rage in the National Assembly, citizens of RS are left confused and concerned. Will this unit help in emergencies or become just another tool for political control?
What do you think about this “auxiliary” unit? A lifesaver or a reason to worry? Drop a comment and let’s unravel this political soap opera together!
