Catch the thief! Catch the thief!

A fictional lawmaker, "Kokod," is quoted as exclaiming, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!" while describing an attempted theft of lawmakers. She claims they were offered 9,999,999 Chinese yuan, but the "heroes loyal to the grave" refused. The article sarcastically praises their steadfastness and dedication to "pure Neresni.ca and domo.vini" (likely referring to a fictional political entity or ideology).

The author points out the common tactic of pointing fingers in one direction while ignoring issues in another. The central question becomes the actual price of a 51st vote, implying that parliamentary support is for sale. The article suggests that the lawmaker inadvertently revealed the current market prices for votes on the "stock exchange."

To explain the perceived corruption, a "part-time professor Janez Ivan" is quoted: "If they switch from left to right, it's a voice of reason, but from right to left, it's called corruption." This statement underscores the article's cynical view of political allegiances and the selective application of moral judgments based on party affiliation.
