Movement Go change published on Thursday (April 17) a list of 110 other institutions and companies for which, as they stated, there are reports that they pressured their employees to attend rallies of the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić i Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), including meeting held on April 12 in Belgrade.
In a post on Instagram, they stated that they had so far received applications for 410 institutions regarding "blackmail related to rallies".
"The most reports came from centers for social work, schools, preschool institutions and health centers, where employees are blackmailed by not renewing their contracts for a certain period of time, while for some institutions it is also reported that the managers compiled lists of social assistance beneficiaries, who were taken to rallies under pressure," stated Kreni-promeni.
The announcement adds that the applications do not only refer to the rally held on April 12 in Belgrade, but also to the rallies of President Vučić and SNS held in Jagodina, Sremska Mitrovica, Zaječar, Bor, as well as to party rallies held in previous years throughout Serbia.
Never greater pressures
As the April 12 rally "We will not give Serbia" approached, the pressures on employees also increased in state enterprises. This was previously confirmed for "Vreme" by a Nis waterworks worker, who claimed that there was pressure before the meeting of the Serbian Progressive Party, but "never to this extent".
"Earlier, they asked us if we could and wanted to leave, now they just say that we have to be in Belgrade. They also directly mentioned dismissal to me," she said.
The editorial office of the "Nova" newspaper received an audio recording from a meeting of the employees of a department of Poštanska Štedionica, in which, allegedly, the voice of Nataša Marković, a member of the Executive Board of that bank, can be heard telling the employees why they should come to Vučić's rally on April 12, why they should not refuse the invitation and that the story about going to the meeting should be viewed as something "normal, because they eat bread from the state coffers."
