President Aleksandar Vučić he confided to us, a few weeks ago, that the rebellion against his government awakens evil thoughts in him. He says he would shine, but he won't.
It was a significant sentence, one of those that the president passes on a nervous basis, through the lip that the executioner bites. Of course he wants to shine. And it does a lot.
We are used to news in Serbia lasting as long as a cat's husband, but this in just a few days local elections u Zajecaru i To Kosjerić is also fatal for our pace.
We had all kinds of regime beaters in these two places puncture of the tires of our journalistThen we had the arrests. professor and dean in Novi Sad. So people started receiving misdemeanors fines just for standing on the street during 16 minutes of silence. Entire universities are being threatened.
It continued. Euronews purge where the media capos of this government expel all those who still show their spine as a measure of the distance between their cheek and ass.
The reader will easily remember the initial confusion of the authorities with this student rebellion. They wandered around several times, from student swimming, to calls for dialogue and concessions such as resignations.
But there is no more wandering. For a few months now - somewhere between the installation of a tent favela and a toi-toi toilet in the city center - Vučić knows exactly what he wants.
Or, as he would say, he was possessed by evil thoughts.
A regime at war against its own people
In the hope that the protest will loosen and subside a little - which is a natural, biological process, because it cannot be pumped up to two bars continuously - the regime would single out individuals from the crowd and then ruin their lives.
Persecutions, dismissals, arrests, purges, punishments... In short, the regime is at war against its own people.
Vučić cannot and will not forgive anyone who does not recognize his genius and royal inviolability. "Evil thoughts" seem to have arrived because years of (barren) criticism of Maltena overnight became a coherent, organized resistance that sways the government like the wind on a willow tree.
The people entered the mode of self-defense. The people will no longer be victims. And he won't suffer anymore. Only Vučić can't forgive that - the bully is angered by the fact that the victim raised her guard.
Fortunately for the people's cause, Vučić, for the first time since he sat on everyone's neck, is so blinded that he does not see how persecution, dismissals, purges and arrests cannot help him, on the contrary. They can only further galvanize his opponents.
In the medium term, Vučić is the former. He does not see it, which testifies to the decadence of the regime - it is the last stage. Dangerous, but last.
And the opponents of the government have learned a lesson by now: the rebellion cannot flare up every day with the same force, but if by any chance it dies down, if society returns to lethargy, then there will be no one and nothing to oppose the regime's revenge campaign.
And only in that case, Vučić's evil thoughts would win.
