Now that the vocabulary has been established, the attacks on the actors who supported the "Serbia against violence" protest continue. After those attacks came from the front pages of the tabloids, from their editors, from the singer, now a high-ranking official of the ruling party has done the same.
The President of the Executive Board of SNS, Darko Glišić, in the morning program of Happy television, decided to refer to the actors who publicly expressed their position against the regime. Using the already recognizable progressive vocabulary, he stated that he knows some of them personally when they "were in debt and ugly, making money by the spoonful during the time of the former government", and that during the "dictatorship" they filmed six or seven times a month.
"You don't like Vučić, you don't like 119 times more investment, you don't like the country, you don't like the regime?" "Well, don't act, go somewhere else and act," Glišić said.
Bjelogrlić threatened not to act
Actor Dragan Bjelogrlić, shortly after Glišić's guest appearance, called on the Telekom Directorate to announce the "shameful and disgusting attacks" on actors who play in Telekom's series.
He publicly asked whether engagement in projects financed by Telekom implies that engaged actors do not have the right to publicly express their opinion.
"If so, I will no longer act in the series Tycoon, the only Telekom series in which I am engaged. I suggest that the new 'tycoon' be Bule Goncić or Rastko Janković. They probably meet the given criteria," Bjelogrlić pointed out in a written statement.
Nikola Kojo also took to social media and responded to Glišić's statement with the comment "Lepi, and you want to change the people? Actors are not the only ones who annoy you and live off the budget you created. Huh? Maybe it will be healing... saving".
In addition to them, Petar Božović also commented on the statement of the SNS official, saying that there is no other country where he could live and work, and that such a statement "reeks strongly of fascism".
Organized campaign?
This is not the first time that actors who expressed their stance against the government and supported protests have been attacked, so recently the singer Jelena Karleuša guested in "Hit Tweet" and criticized the actors for going against the state that finances them.
Actor Marko Janketić was among the first to be attacked in this way in the last wave. After he said in an emcee of the Nova.rs portal that he would tell his daughters to leave this country, he experienced an attack on social networks, in which the owner of Informer, Dragan J. Vučićević, also participated.
"I would like my daughters to live in a society that is not disenfranchised, where institutions have their role, we live in a society that does not work." It wasn't better 10 years ago, if it was, it wouldn't be worse now, that's how I would say it," said Janketić, "you should leave here, pick up your bags, buy a one-way plane ticket and leave here, it will never get better here." , Janketić said.
As a comment on his guest appearance, Vučićević wrote on his Twitter profile: "Well, why aren't you going? Who is defending you? It won't be, Janketić, that you have such a bad time in Serbia... Deder, hero, tell us how much money you saved from roles in TV series paid for by 'Telekom Srbija'".
The fact that the headlines on the pro-regime portals are almost identical shows that the attacks on the actors are almost organized. In them, it is pointed out that the actors are attacking the state, and that they are ungrateful because they receive fees from the state for their work. The texts talk about the alleged earnings of actors on projects financed by Telekom. Among those whose names are mentioned are Dragan Bjelogrlić, Nikola Kojo, Gordan Kicić and Sergej Trifunović.
Milan Marić is also on this list, who previously said in an interview for Danas that public figures become "gladiators of other people's expectations".
"Public figures, especially actors and actresses, should have a relationship with the society they live in, and responsibility for the way they use their popularity." However, in a disturbed system of values and a deeply divided society, people are guided by the slogan "into each other and into their own pockets". Why should we expect public figures to be immune to it?" said Marić in that interview.
Among the actors who expressed their support for the protests are Branka Katić, Ammar Mešić and Gorica Popović.
