The first sketches of the idea of a shadow government are already
shown to the society. Those are responsible steps which need a
thorough analysis and elaboration. One must admit that the future of
the movement will depend on the steps taken in this direction. The
time of political statements and calls has already passed. The society
expects real steps, successful ones, small steps which will, however,
produce results.
In this transition period the main goal of the movement is to establish
dual power which is visible and tangible. Different calls on abrupt
activities for change of power will continue to be heard in the
political field and different algorithms may be offered. But everyone
understands that if the word "velvet" is often heard in these calls,
the word "velvet" is dual power, and the viability and resources
of the illegitimate government will be neutralized in parallel with
forming a legitimate government with its resources (including by way
of gradual redistribution of resources).
Forming dual power is a complicated process. A government that has
usurped state resources is not sleeping, and the resource will be used
to smother its clone and executor as soon as it is born. Creation
of a strong and healthy embryo will be the guarantee that the child
will leave. A sick embryo will be attacked by viruses overwhelming
the environment.
Now a circumstance of inefficiency is noticed. In order to sustain
the power of BAREV along with the government which has usurped power
and ensure continuity of the resource of confidence received from
people it is necessity to stress not only human resource but also
structural change. It is necessary to change people's attitude to
public administration systems. In other words, before announcing
names of shadow ministers it is necessary to prove that the given
ministry or institution is needed for optimal public administration
or provision of public services.
Why? Because one of the weaknesses of the government is that it is
a mess. Institutions have been established not on the basis of the
principle of optimization of public services but out of the desire to
appoint their friends or acquaintances to one position or another. The
government is a worn patchwork, and it cannot be mended, it must be
thrown away and replaced by a comfortable and nicely dress made to
measure for the government.
