heavy mourning across the country – an inevitable reality imposed the tragic tragedy of Tempe. The prevailing atmosphere of suffering puts any plans that existed in terms of political activity into a state of temporary pause. Immediately after the accident, the planned events were suspended and the political headquarters is moving on the basis of new data formed by the country’s immersion in conditions of national mourning. In such an environment, any discussion of initiatives and movements at the political level automatically falls out of context. The previously prevailing debate about the timing of the election has faded into the background and has been moved to a later time.

Accordingly, in general political events, whether central or individual candidates, were suspended, as were media appearances by politicians. It is no coincidence that even many electoral campaigns have stopped counting since the day of the tragic incident and, as reported, it is not yet clear when they will resume, although some expect this to happen from Monday.

This is not something unprecedented, similar conditions have prevailed after major disasters in the past. As they say about it head of a measuring company, it seems completely inappropriate at the present time to measure anything, even the trace of a tragedy. “It is not easy to understand and accept what happened, we are very close to this event, and it is associated with the loss of many young people, which exacerbates the tragedy and it is very difficult to think and evaluate it calmly. We will see his imprint after a while, ”he emphasizes.

In fact, he adds, past experience confirms this assessment. “Without going into details and without referring to specific events, it seems that the hot impression-reaction of public opinion to such extreme events most often differs from what remains and is reflected in the medium term. We have noticed that the impression we have in the first month is different from that which prevailed over a longer period of time.”

Waiting position

For metering companies, the prudent response would be to wait until the first wave of major mourning has passed. “You cannot, when such a shocking event dominates and leaves no room for discussion or reflection on anything else, ask how the citizens feel. This will happen later, in the second year, and now we can’t even say exactly when the right conditions will be. This is something that we also evaluate and act accordingly,” the message says. There is no doubt that such large-scale catastrophic events leave their mark. However, as the head of the metering company comments, “there are no rules on how this will be perceived by citizens. There are times when very close to the events we have a more strict attitude, which then becomes softer. However, we have also seen the opposite. Initially, a restrained reaction, which intensifies and intensifies over time. There are no rules to judge how to capture such a tragic event. “
