Door to door with activists in Bor

Our first address is a building from the fifties - probably unpainted since then. Retired lady: "We are activists for the student list. - Sorry, I don't support you." Enthusiasm wanes slightly. We enter the next building. It was built in the late seventies, the facade is made of concrete and red brick, eight floors, without an elevator. "Oh, so where are you for me, I know everything, see you at the vote"

Will the progressive fortresses fall?

SNS started the campaign for the recently announced elections several months ago. For the progressives, these elections are of great importance, their popularity has fallen, it is necessary to make up for it, to show that "the people still want them". There is no doubt that bags of money, megawatts of energy and the broadest strata of clubbing will be engaged for this purpose. It will probably be even hotter than last year in Kosjerić. And what will the opposition - both this party and the student movement - do against SNS and how? In one or more columns? What situation awaits them? Where will the worst fight be? And, isn't it an interesting indicator that all the places where the elections will be held are facing a terrifying depopulation, and everything as a rule - the stronger the SNS, the fewer the inhabitants

Thus, in the case of the deceased two-year-old girl, it turns out that it will be proven that the police killed the suspects and then covered it up, rather than that the suspects killed the girl and covered it up
