According to the media, the Socialist Party of Serbia has suspended Branko Ružić from all positions in the party for six months
The Socialist Party of Serbia suspended it Branko Ruzic, vice-president of that party and member of the Executive Board, for six months from all positions in the party, the media reports.
Ružić was suspended in accordance with Article 5 of the party's statute, which stipulates that a party member whose opinion has been over-voted by the party's organs cannot propagate that opinion in public as the party's official position, and also cannot publicly argue about the decisions of the party's organs of which they are members, the media write.
Therefore, Ružić will not be a candidate for any position within the Government of Serbia. This decision of the SPS Statutory Commission followed Ružić's public appearances.
Ruzic on March 15th joined a large student protest in Belgrade.
"I admire the students"
He is in an interview for "Vreme" said that everyone has their own way of dealing with politics, "mine is like this. I do not dispute that others fight for the political goals of the party they belong to in other ways."
He added that he admires the students, their lucidity and anticipation of things that could happen - like March 15.
"At that time, they warned against an excessive escalation, which was possible because some others wanted it. But the energy of the students should be articulated into political outlines. This is a popular rebellion, but if you want to change something in the institutions, then you have to do it in an institutional way," said Ružić.
When asked by a journalist what he thinks when Vučić says that this is a protest of the "rich", Ružić replied that if he is not mistaken, the President of the Republic said that there are many millionaires in his party.
"Then I don't know what it would mean if this is a rebellion of the rich. I can't treat students like tycoons and rich people, that would be ridiculous. On the street on March 15, I met family people who were walking normally with their children, with smiles on their faces, young people hugging each other. I don't recognize that protest of the rich. On the other hand, it is not forbidden to be rich if you earned money honestly," he said.
And concluded that in fact self-aware people feel what is not good in society. "And now the situation is really not phenomenal or maybe I just don't have rose colored glasses."
"The bastards and rascals of the blockaders used Vidovdan to announce the final physical confrontation with students who just want to study and fulfill their constitutionally guaranteed right to knowledge and education. Attacks on them will not be allowed," says the President of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić
The trial of SNS activists for the attack on students in Novi Sad was postponed because one of the accused did not appear. According to the defense, he is undergoing treatment. The court scheduled a new hearing for June 30
Vidovdan will be marked by two opposing gatherings in Belgrade - a student protest and a gathering of government supporters. The regime media is already announcing violence. Is intimidation and dissuading of citizens from protesting at work?
How did the former partner of Minister Darko Glišić rapidly advance in her career and become the owner of several properties in exclusive locations?
What are the constitutional powers, and what is the real role of the head of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, Đur Matsut, in the political theater of Aleksandar Vučić. And what kind of responsibility does his consent to the degradation and deception of citizens entail
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
