Minister of Education Dejan Vuk Stanković stated that the blockade of the Fifth Belgrade Gymnasium is "an attempt to start the renewal of the colored revolution in education". It's not but
Government representatives attacked the students through the regime's media Fifth Belgrade Gymnasium and their parents. The goal is clear: to extinguish the spark of rebellion so that it does not turn into a fire.
So is the Minister of Education of Serbia Dejan Vuk Stankovic on television, Pink stated that the Fifth Gymnasium was chosen to be a "hotel" for those who will walk from other parts of Serbia to Novi Sad for the commemorative rally on November 1, the anniversary of the deadly fall of the railway station canopy.
His claims fit into the regime's narrative that "blockade-terrorists" with the support of "occupation media platforms" want at any cost to revive the "failed colored revolution" financed and organized by some dark, anti-Serb power centers from the West with the aim of overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić.
The minister does not mention that the students and parents of the Fifth Belgrade Gymnasium actually only demand the removal of the incompetent acting director Danka Nešović, who was installed by Vuk Stanković on the orders of the top of the Serbian Progressive Party.
It's just like high school students asking for competent teachers who were fired because they supported student protests to return to work, and those who are unable to adequately educate children.
For "revenge minister" Dejan Vuk Stanković, it is, however, "an attempt to start the renewal of the colored revolution in education." The statement, no matter how stupid, is in line with the prescribed narrative of the SNS marketing team.
An evening with students Pete: "This will last much longer than two weeks"
Because every, even the smallest, rebellion against the repression of the Vučić regime is characterized as a "color revolution", so it is extinguished with the jets of lies that the regime's media pour into the public space, so that it does not spread and cause a fire.
In the atmosphere of general dissatisfaction, and even anger of a good part of society, that fear is certainly justified.
On Pink, Vuk Stanković was concerned about the "safety of the children and the property of the school" and said that the school will not be run by a parent council and a viber group, but by the director.
And the competition for the director will be announced "very soon".
Even in the case of Peta, Vučić's regime adheres to the established matrix for suppressing every, even the smallest, openly expressed dissatisfaction: first comes the media spit, waiting for the rebellion to die down, and if that doesn't happen, force is used.
The students of the Fifth Gymnasium started blocking the school on Monday evening and announced that it will last until their demands are met: the dismissal of the acting principal and the election of a new principal from the school collective, as well as the reinstatement of dismissed teachers and the formation of the School Board.
