Repression and resistance

24.September 2025. Maja Stojanović

A government that does not admit defeat

The consequences for society are already there - institutions are paralyzed, there is no justice, and many do not even see a glimpse of a brighter future in this system. However, paradoxically, this repression also gives birth to a new wave of solidarity and resistance. Despite the arrests, the protest movement does not die down, but adapts: students persist for months in creative forms of resistance, from blocking colleges and streets to performances that win public support. Solidarity among different social groups - students, parents, teachers, lawyers - is getting stronger, because many recognize in the arrests the injustice that is already knocking on their doors.
