March Fifteen: Five ConclusionsAll those who lied all day long on the regime televisions that the "colored revolution failed" know very well what happened on Saturday, March 15, in Belgrade: they were given a warning before being expelled
All those who lied all day long on the regime televisions that the "colored revolution failed" know very well what happened on Saturday, March 15, in Belgrade: they were given a warning before being expelled
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, challenged students and citizens to meet him on March 15 in Belgrade - if they dare. The decision on Andrić's wreath has been made: there is no more foiling that the top regime is tolerant, the hard game of repression begins
Expectations were created among the rebel students and citizens that March 15 could be the beginning of the end of the progressive government. On the other hand, Aleksandar Vučić talks about the end of the beginning of the "illegal" protests and the "colored revolution". Is Saturday really "D-Day", as the regime media presents it? What are students planning, and what are progressive strategists planning?
In the balance of power in the National Assembly, whether everything in Serbia is normal or not, the opposition won this time - with smoke bombs and torches
There are not two Serbias, but only one that converged in Kragujevac for the Sretenje. If the kleptocrats and false prophets who rode on it don't wake up, it won't exist
Where is Serbia headed? What is the way out of this crisis? What should happen for the prosecution to question Aleksandar Vučić, who publicly claimed to know who committed the criminal act of illegal demolition in Hercegovačka Street and thus committed the criminal act of concealing the perpetrator of the criminal act? In other words: how much pressure in society would have to increase for this government to agree to the rule of law, which would mean its disempowerment
If we let this student rebellion eat our children, we should crawl into a rat hole and never come out again
No matter how the regime media explained it, the students overthrew the government of Miloš Vučević. His resignation is buying time in case Aleksandar Vučić finds a way to turn the game around
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said that absolutely all possible and impossible demands of the students have been met, so they can return to their desks and continue studying. Both Prime Minister Miloš Vučević and Speaker of the National Assembly Ana Brnabić spoke very briefly in this sense
From the announcement of the Serbian Orthodox Church, a simple conclusion follows: the protesting students are antichrists, and Aleksandar Vučić is the embodiment of Svetosava values.
Students have shown that they can argue with the authorities indefinitely. They don't show an iota of fatigue, fear, they are quick, organized, motivated to normalize the abnormal country they live in and start more and more massive civil disobedience
The owners of most of the shops in Njegoševa Street in Vračar did not respond to the students' call for a "general strike". It's just that the beast empties
The students' request was again simple and the most normal: safe people, editors, journalists, do your job professionally, don't mislead people anymore
The elections for the Federal Parliament are scheduled for February 23, 2025. The question of all questions is how the radical right-wing Alternative for Germany will fare, because its strength will show to what extent the values of liberal democracy have been distorted in Europe's strongest economy.
What is the purpose of the "advisory referendum on confidence in President Aleksandar Vučić" and why should it be ignored in every possible way
Students blocked the Mostar loop. The message is clear: we are neither dry nor tired, we do not intend to stop, and we are not stopping Aleksandar Vučić even by two percent, because the president of the country does not ask for anything
Will the students be left to the winds of rebellion against abnormality, or will the "youth of Serbia" encourage the adults to do something? Happy 13th year of absolute power of Aleksandar Vučić
Whatever Vučić says or does, more and more faculties are blocked and more and more students are on the streets. That complete disregard for the Great Leader and absence of fear, that resistance to abnormality can be contagious
Radivoje Jovović, provincial representative of the Movement of Free Citizens, was detained last night in Novi Sad. He is charged with assault on an official. It seems that the authorities have decided on the tactics of arresting demonstrators on this basis and filing criminal charges
There is no doubt that there are tensions in society, that dissatisfaction pulses beneath the surface. But can individual actions and performances of the opposition be called a political crisis, when no strategy is recognized
Relja Stanojević, a student of the Academy of Arts, was kept in prison for 17 days without any need. They harmed him, but they failed to intimidate him
Until now, Aleksandar Vučić has taken care that party-state repression does not irritate Europeans too much. That is no longer the case. The game became rougher. The symbol of the bloody fist of Vučić and Dačić is disturbingly reminiscent of the resistance fist
The progressive government increasingly loses all sense of proportion. Now she has sent BIA agents to intimidate the employees of the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments who believe that Vučić and his brothers are illegally demolishing the General Staff. Party repression is more and more exposed
From May of last year to November of this year, the opposition parties went from "Serbia against violence" to "Corruption kills". Opposition leaders are repeating the same things and hoping for a different result
The degree of state repression in Serbia is inversely proportional to the rating of Aleksandar Vučić and the Serbian progressive elite: the stronger they feel that their power is threatened, the greater the repression will be
The triumphant return of narcissistic, notorious liar and conspiracy theorist Donald Trump to the White House is a powerful blow to liberal values in the Western Hemisphere that could prove deadly and finally set off the perfect storm that has swept over the world
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić learned the lessons of last year's civil protests after the mass murders. After the tragedy in Novi Sad, he partially changed his defensive tactics in order to curb the threatening wave of dissatisfaction at the start
