"Educators from Požega have been tabloidized and suffered a lot of violence from representatives of the local self-government," says MP Bogdan Radovanović.
Požega does not remember that in its history it was under such a siege by various people police group, and all because of the session of the Požega Municipality Assembly, the first after almost three months, which, according to the words, opposition of councilors, completed without discussion.
In front of the Municipality building, there are members of the police in armored vehicles, with shields, and in full combat gear to break up demonstrations, writes N1.
"We were advised by the head of the Criminal Police Department from Užice to report the threats that came to us, specifically to me, on my social account on Instagram, where after the Assembly session I received a serious threat that someone would wait for me at night. To tell you the truth, I didn't want to report it, but after this entire situation and the threats that happened even today at the session itself, I listened and did it," said member of the Požega Initiative Green-Left Front Committee member and MP Bogdan Radovanović.
He stated that disgruntled citizens, that is, educators from Požega who were "tabloidized" and who "suffered considerable violence from the representatives of the local self-government", expressed their rebellion and said what they had.
"They left after the representatives of the government, that is, the President of the Municipality and his assistant, and the others." "One MP was showing the middle finger to the educators from the window, while she was being protected by the police," said Radovanović.
They don't give up the fight.
The head of the committee group of the Democratic Party, Mišo Marković, a professor of history, who was also the target of those attacks, said that regardless of reduced salaries, educators in Požega are not giving up their fight.
"As far as educators in Požega are concerned, we are actually on a total work stoppage for the seventh week. First of all, it refers to two elementary schools and the Sveti Sava high school. So we have not worked for seven weeks, we have received salaries from 300 dinars to 2000 dinars, some have not received a single dinar. But we are still determined to persevere in our fight, which has been going on for a long, long time, especially for the last two or three months. We are especially inspired to persevere in this fight because we receive shameful insults that are unprecedented when it comes to our small town. "It has never happened that anyone insults and addresses educators in that way," said Radovanović.
He recalled that some of his colleagues "appeared on the front pages of tabloids".
"Today at the Assembly, as a group of councilors and as a coalition that has been acting together all this time, we demanded that the President of the Municipality, on behalf of his cabinet, as well as all other officials of the ruling coalition, apologize to us, the educators, to apologize for everything they did and that this was actually a condition for that session to start working. However, they refused and we didn't want to allow the session to start and proceed according to some planned agenda," said Radovanović and added that the session ended after a few minutes.
"According to the old, well-established custom, they made those decisions through us, and it was all over in a few minutes," said Radovanović.
Accidental in Bogatić and Kraljevo
The events in Požega reminded of similar events in the Municipality Rich man where farmers and other citizens who demonstrated in front of the Municipality of Bogatić, where a public discussion on the spatial plan of the municipality and lithium research was to be held, broke the entrance door and entered the building.
A similar thing happened in Kraljev where the opposition councilors joined the demonstrators in front of the City Assembly and threw eggs at the police, all because of the inappropriate behavior of the mayor Predrag Terzić, who ran away from the Assembly building to the van with police security.

Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
