OUR PROBLEMS AND SUPREMACIES

There is a feeling that because of these endless elections and all the
developments deriving from them we have stopped to see the real
problems faced by the country.
All the candidates to president, observers, committees, demonstrations,
disorders, involved our society in a unique whirlpool, leaving no time
and strength for other problems. Of course another one or two months
and people will forget about all this, but we will lose the necessary
tempo and time for the solution of fatal issues.
The first and foremost problem for us is the weakening of our will,
loss of inexorability to continue the work we have already started.
It is high time to be in direct contact with our real problems,
especially those problems that hinder the development of the economy
and the country in general. We must raise the effectiveness of all the
branches of power.
Otherwise people can’t rely on neither the law nor the authorities and
justice. They will pin their hopes upon themselves, nothing more. In
this case why do they need the authorities?
The other problem that we face is the absence of the clear rules
accepted by everyone. The society can’t exist without these rules. And
the rules, in the condition of the state, are the law, the
constitutional law and order, the security of the family, and the
citizen, and the trust towards the steadiness of established rules.
The state must start from itself, not only to set up equal rules but
also follow these rules.
We have forgotten that the court issues a verdict on behalf of the
state and must correspond to that great honor. The Police and the
Prosecutor’s must serve the law and not separate people, they shouldn’t
use their power in their own interests.
Rules are necessary and important for each of us, the authorities, the
entrepreneurs, and especially those who need social protection. Is it
possible to help the weak layer of society if the taxes are not being
paid? Is it possible to build a civilized market in the conditions of
corruption? Economic progress is impossible if the official depends on
the capital.
It is characteristic of a strong state to live according to the law.
And these states can guarantee freedom for entrepreneurs, personal and
social freedom.
For us fighting poverty, protection of the market from the officials
and foreign invasion must be supremacy.
Of course in this term state supervision is indispensable, but it is
not enough. Let’s see what’s going on: people don’t have trust in the
security of their personal business, because they can’t rely on the
strength of law and the honesty of the officials. This means they are
disapproved of the state service and consequently they evade taxes.
Moreover this way they will be fairly well off.
But the state is deprived of maintaining an impartial judicial system,
because they can’t give good salary to the officials and the latter
ones will certainly take bribe.
The essence of the state order is far not in suppressing the market or
extending the bureaucratic expansion. On the contrary they must help
people find a way out, they must provide honest competition rules for
the entrepreneurs.
They must provide equal rights for everyone; they mustn’t use the state
institutions for the interests of clan or certain groups. The pivotal
solution for the whole economic policy must be honest work rather than
stealing.
Of course we can continue to list the supremacies faced by our country,
but the before mentioned ones are enough to start solving them one
after another.
