Serbia has seen itself in the age of progressives. What she hadn't seen until recently were organized attacks on commemorative gatherings. The reader knows - we are talking about fifteen-minute street blockades, the aim of which is to prevent forgetting and determine responsibility for the fifteen victims from Novi Sad. All those peaceful women and men are being attacked by progressive officials with small teeth playing tricks on the citizens.
The mayor of Belgrade says that it is their duty. And Šapić would personally love any girl or boy - and maybe even an older person, regardless of gender - if he happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Where does this lack of basic humanity come from? That's why "Serbia must not stop". Vučić spread this slogan like an umbrella over himself and his party. He hopes to use it to cover systemic corruption, arrogance, thievery, incompetence, amorality, insensitivity, epic robberies...
Because what are fifteen lives compared to fifteen million euros of people's money in the pocket of someone from the ruling caste? My God - accidents happen, people get hurt, we move on, demolish, build, build... The only thing that matters is that the turbine of corrupt and predatory business continues to spin. Faster, stronger, better.
If the above is excluded, Serbia has been standing still for a long time. It is a country with a public with a broken backbone; a country without elementary social dialogue where the government is based on a poisonous cocktail of deception, violence and cursing; a country where self-proclaimed patriots suppress its natural and spiritual goods as some kind of internal occupiers; a country whose "quantum jump" is epitomized by dead children at school, the death of a passer-by from a fallen wheel of a disintegrating city bus in the capital, the gruesome death of a passenger under a fallen canopy at a reconstructed railway station...
The people know: the application of the law is proportional to the position in the regime - the higher the position, the greater the inviolability. Ana Brnbić's public address, surrounded by policemen in black suits and white shirts, therefore looks like the opening scene from some kind of apocalyptic sci-fi movie: she and her party partners are modern feudal lords, Serbia is their fiefdom, and the citizens are serfs at the mercy and grace of the magnates. As the President of the Assembly herself would sum it up - "And what is there that is not clear to anyone?"
Do the protests after the tragedy in Novi Sad open a crisis of government? Maybe, but it doesn't matter. Serbia is in a deep crisis that cannot be deeper.
