Dveri: Migrants should not walk in Serbia

The Serbian movement Dveri submitted today in the Government building a request to urgently pass a Regulation on the ban on the movement of migrants in Serbia outside of private centers. As they claim, everything is aimed at ensuring the safety of citizens, which has been threatened for years, especially in the north of Serbia in Sombor, Šid and Subotica.

"The competent state authorities must return the migrants to the reception centers as soon as possible, instead of walking around Serbia as they please, as well as expelling those without the necessary documents," said Dveri's Vice President Ivan Kostić to reporters in front of the Government building.

Kostić also assessed that the government's reaction to events related to migrants is inadequate and that the police can no longer be counted on.

"The main problems are the lack of organization of the government to solve this problem and corruption and crime at the top of the Ministry of the Interior, as pointed out by people who live in Subotica, where many members of the MUP are involved in bringing migrants and settling them in Makovo šuma," he said. , stating that migrants recently threw a bomb at the house of a Serbian citizen.

Petition against the settlement of migrants in Čačak in 2019.

This is not Dveri's only initiative against migrants. In December 2019, the movement started a campaign against the construction of a migrant center in Čačak and the settlement of migrants in that city.

Boško Obradović, the leader of the movement, said after President Aleksandar Vučić's statement that "Serbia will take over part of the migrants from Greece", that he will not allow someone to "make Serbia an asylum center in Europe and change the structure of our population".

On December 11, at a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Athens, Vučić said that "Serbia is ready as a friend, and not only as someone who is on the European road, to help accommodate a certain number of migrant children without parents."

In his statements to the media at the time, Obradović said that migrants are responsible for rape attempts, violence, theft and other crimes "about which the media is mostly silent."

"Christian Europe under threat"

Right-wing parties in the world, such as the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which emerged from the Pegida movement, mobilize people based on the thesis that Christian Europe is threatened by Islamization. This is a characteristic narrative for the new right that has emerged on the wings of the migrant crisis – an issue that has been brought up again, even though migration is as old as humanity itself.

Thus, in an effort to preserve the conservative tradition, the so-called "family values", these parties, support each other in that these values ​​could be threatened precisely by migrants.

"Europe is our Christian family home that is worth caring for together in the complex challenges of the migrant crisis." All these are topics on which we will continue discussions not only with Alternative for Germany, but also with other European colleagues from conservative political options," said Boško Obradović during his visit to the German Bundestag in 2019.

AfD is currently the second strongest party in Germany, whose support is growing. As a relevant political actor, she appeared in the 2014 parliamentary elections. This year, she won the local elections for the first time in the district of Sonneberg in the eastern state of Thuringia. Now Robert Sesselman will take over power in that district. They call the European Union a "failed project" because it has "completely failed" in the areas of migration.

The anti-immigrant initiatives of the Dveri leader, such as today, open the question of whether this will increase their popularity in the next elections, as is the case with the AfD in Germany.
