“You’ve been lying to us for years! No party is welcome in Podgora!!” shouts a banner strung across a street in Podgora, a poor village in Bosnia that is fed up with politicians and their empty promises.
The Bosnian general elections will be held on October 7, and the 700 residents of Podgora, which is situated about 18 miles from Sarajevo, don’t want any politicking in their town, reports Agence France-Presse. They’re so serious about it that they collectively ponied up $58 for the banner — “a hefty sum in a community where most are unemployed, living off of small vegetable farms and livestock,” writes AFP — and, when some politicians ignored it and posted campaign ads anyway, they tore the posters down and spray-painted on the back on the banner, “Did you read it? People have had enough.”
