Should we believe the Chinese that Vučić did not guarantee them impunity in the case of the canopy?

The Embassy of China rejected allegations that Aleksandar Vučić promised that the Chinese consortium would not be responsible for the fall of the canopy of the Railway Station in Novi Sad. At the same time, China did not react to the cruelty to which workers are exposed in Chinese companies in Serbia, so the question is whether Chinese contractors were given a free hand to do what they want.

Students: The regime mocks the victims of the canopy fall with a "memorial".

The form of the massive stone slab brutally resembles the concrete block that killed the citizens, which represents an unprecedented act of aesthetic cynicism towards the victims, according to the students.

Self-proclaimed experts on regret: The progressive government also claims a monopoly on grief

The statement by SNS president Miloš Vučević that none of those protesting shows regret for the tragic death of a student at the Faculty of Philosophy is "impertinent and rude" and represents public secondary victimization, according to Vremena's interlocutors.

The death of individual responsibility

When government ignores the consequences of its decisions, it not only ignores current victims, but also creates a culture in which any future disaster becomes legitimate.

Prosecutor Ilić: It seems that the prosecution was guided by public outrage, not facts

"It seems that the prosecution was guided by the indignation of the public because of the fall of the canopy, and not by the facts available in the case, because the proceedings were suspended due to the lack of reasonable suspicion," public prosecutor Goran Ilić told "Vreme"

Suspended proceedings against Vesić and others: Continuation of the coup d'état or thin indictment

Critics of the regime of Aleksandar Vučić see the suspension of proceedings against Goran Vesić and others as a continuation of the coup d'état and believe that the decision was made under political pressure. Lawyer Sead Spahović is of the opinion that the indictment was thin precisely because of its breadth, but that we should wait for the final verdict

"It is strange that the prosecutor does not deal with the question of who let people use the station, even though she did not have a license at that time, because if they had not been let in, no one would have died," says Forbes editor Ivan Radak.
