Ana Brnabic of 41 years and openly homosexual has been elected Prime Minister in Serbia by her predecessor and current President Aleksandar Vucic
GAYLES.TV.- Reading that a woman, granddaughter of a Croatian and above lesbian is going to preside over the Serbian Government, the only thing that comes to mind is that phrase that Don Quixote told his squire: "things that are not Crederes, Sancho. " And the fact is that the appointment to that position of a lesbian, in a country of a conservative nature, frankly homophobic (homosexuality is considered an illness by the majority of the Serbian population) and akin to Russia, is not surprising, it is absolutely incredible . And although the newly named Ana Brnabic rush to declare in relation to their sexual orientation that "the government does not defend gay parade but the rights of all citizens", it is evident that it is a shock with unpredictable consequences.
The Serbian Parliament approved last week the new Government of Serbia headed by Ana Brnabic whose program focuses on economy, education, digitization and the entry of Serbia into the European Union. But the path traveled by the former prime minister Vucic It has not been easy to get here since, not only members of his party and political allies opposed his decision, "even some members of my family were against my proposal," said the current president.
The criticisms against Ana Brnabic have been fierce and in some cases have come to insult. Dragan MarkovicLeader United Serbia and Vucic's own member voted, together with his five deputies, against alleging that "The prime minister must be a man and a father of a family and Ana Brnabic will not be my first minister". Well look Dragan, feel, because it is what you have and you have to abide by it. Other recurring comments were of the type: "I do not know whether to address the candidate as Mr. or Mrs.". Very funny the Serbian conservatives.
Despite strong opposition Brnabic was elected by the Serbian Parliament by an overwhelming majority 157 votes for and 55 against (30 deputies did not attend the session) and before the support received the flaming prime minister declared: "They can offend me as much as they want, they can call me homo-prime minister, but I will change Serbia and if my grandfather was Croatian, I am Serbian. "
Following the appointment of Brnavic, Vucic sees an attempt to approach the European Union by demonstrating his openness of ideas despite the precarious balance between Russia and the West. A play very in the line of non-alignment positions held historically by Tito but in this case they represent a giant step in front of Putin. Especially if we take into account that the past 20 of June the Court of Human Rights of Strasbourg he condemned Russia precisely because of its law against "homosexual propaganda" stating that it is discriminatory because it "reinforces stigma and prejudice and encourages homophobia."
It will be interesting to see how the new prime minister unfolds with this panorama and if she manages to fulfill in the long term with her main objective that in her own words would be "the modernization of our society in all aspects".
