The mayor of Novi Sad, Milan Đurić, calls fellow citizens "arrogant and arrogant" because they are demanding responsibility and justice for the tragedy at the newly reconstructed railway station. Such statements cause anger and outrage
Mayor of Novi Sad Milan Djuric he is most often described as a politician with no color, no smell, no taste, and the night watchman of his predecessor's legacy, Miloš Vucevic. His decency was also emphasized - by progressive standards.
Because of all this, the statement in which he attacks a commemorative gathering in his own city sounds particularly pathetic. Elem, for Đurić, "two hundred demonstrators are destroying and destroying Novi Sad by writing messages of hatred, disorder and chaos".
How long did it take the mayor to come up with this? Did he sweat, blow hard and bite his lower lip while looking for formulations tailored to his party masters? Will he one day claim that he was forced to write it, and otherwise he knew how to help certain political opponents at great personal risk?
Developing thoughts about the future holding of the concrete and all others jurić Serbia is pure - kids would say - cringe. In the present, their statements only provoke anger and outrageous.
Because how else to react to the foolishness of the mayor that SNS "offers clear plans, visions and ideas" for the city where fifteen victims fell due to their thievery and corruption; how to understand that he calls his fellow citizens who are demanding responsibility and justice for the demolition of the canopy at the newly reconstructed railway station as "arrogant and arrogant" protesters?
And something else. For the umpteenth time in the last month, Đurić's statement confirms to all students in blocked faculties and all citizens at the intersections from 11:52 to 12:07 that they must persevere. Otherwise, a new canopy awaits us all.
It didn't have to be this way. Already on November 1, Milan Đurić could write his resignation, bow to the shadows of the victims, humbly ask the citizens for forgiveness and be the first to stamp a bloody fist on the City Hall in Novi Sad. All that was left out. Instead of showing elementary ethics and personal courage, the mayor of Novi Sad sacrificed his own fellow citizens for the office chair.
Is it any wonder, then, that in his poor statement he portrayed himself better than any oppositionist or student tribune ever could? And with a bloody palm on the mayor's cheek.

Anyone who condemns the regime's targeting of people from the media, the non-governmental sector, the opposition and universities, must not agree to this targeting of RTS editors and journalists either.
The government of Đur Mazut is "counter-revolutionary", focused on retaliation and state and street violence against opponents of the regime
Depriving Dejan Ilić, an intellectual with an impeccable life and work biography, of his freedom, without the slightest meaningful reason, is just one of the brutal indicators that the regime has turned against its own citizens and is entering a phase of terror
Where Seselj left off, Vucic continues. Why did Ana Grozdanović, a member of the SPS Main Board, deserve the position of Minister of Justice in Dr. Macuta's government? And what the regime wants to achieve with the Stalinist campaign of intimidation
