Lutovac: Rule of law and lustration
Lutovac, who is running for president of the DS for the third time, emphasized that the party should be a pillar of a broad social alliance that will bring order to the country and carry out lustration.
It advocates that those "who stifled basic freedoms and rights and robbed the people" be banned from public affairs, that their property be confiscated and the "stolen money" of citizens be returned.
Lutovac points out that it is necessary to build the rule of law, responsibility, independent institutions and free media.
He also adds that it is necessary to establish a society of solidarity and justice, which means that minimum wages and pensions should be such that one can live on them and social benefits such that one can survive on them, all with free and fair elections. at all levels.
Lutovac also states that the path of DS is social democracy, democracy, freedom of human rights and social justice, i.e. concern for people, not for ratings.
Milivojević: The goal is to win over Vučić, and over Gavrilović and Lutovec
Srđan Milivojević recently told "Vreme" that he is recognized among citizens as someone who is determined and willing to fight against the regime on the street, as he did during the Resistance.
He also believes that he did a good parliamentary job in the parliament, because he is the MP of the opposition who spoke the most times.
However, he points out that it is no longer enough, because the parliament is becoming an institution that no longer works.
"Now it is necessary to fight on the street," Milivojević pointed out.
He added that his goal is not to defeat Miodrag Gavrilović and Zoran Lutovac, but to defeat Aleksandar Vučić.
"I am convinced that there are many victories ahead of us that will be won only on the rush. On December 14, I am running for office to lead that onslaught in front of the Democratic Party," said Milivojević.
He stated that the intention of the DS is to begin a major integration of parties, movements and associations and the inclusion of prominent individuals in that party.
Gavrilović: Serbian society needs change
Miodrag Gavrilović says that he believes in teamwork, which is why, from the Presidency, through the Main and Executive Committees, departmental committees, city and municipal committees to parliamentary and councilor clubs, the DS "will once again become a team that will work together".
He points out that in order for Serbia to be a modern and successful country, it is necessary to work on creating a system of responsibility.
That is why Gavrilović emphasizes that a value system should be established in order to know what is valued both in the state and in society.
He adds that as a long-time businessman, he has the necessary experience for DS at this moment in building, strengthening and managing the organization.
He promises that DS will work to create an environment in which people can progress depending on their knowledge, abilities and efforts.
"Serbian society needs change." The Democratic Party needs victories. Citizens need both change and victory. In order for that to happen, we must first change," concludes Gavrilović.
