Madness only in Serbia: The executive power threatens to block the judiciary

Even complete laymen and beginners of any political course know very well that an orderly democracy rests on the independence of the three branches of government - executive, judicial and legislative. President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić he doesn't care about that, even though he graduated from the Faculty of Law, as he often boasts, as one of the best students.

The president of the state and a member of the Serbian Progressive Party said that supports the idea of ​​SNS president Miloš Vučević that their followers block the court in Novi Sad, so that four members of that party, suspected of beating several students, would be released from custody after four months.

"Neither the police, nor they, nor anyone else will be able to pass them, until they make a decision to release these persons, and then we will see what happens next," Vučić told Informer television.

He was enraged by the decision of the Appellate Court in Novi Sad that, after a several-day blockade of citizens and students, the stay in prison for three activists of the Movement of Free Citizens and STAV was replaced by house arrest, and the decision on detention for the remaining three activists was returned to the first-instance authority. Vučić announced that changes to some laws and regulations will be necessary in the coming period, in order to "return law and justice to Serbia" and added:

"They failed, they can't do anything anymore, except that the remnants, relics, helpers, instigators and executors of the ideas of the colored revolution will make such criminal moves, like this one today and like this one for four months, keeping guys, boys, in custody for nothing. Well, enough is enough," added Vučić.

One of the "guys", ie. member of SNS broke the jaw of a student in Novi Sad with a bat.

What exactly is a coup d'état?

Pavle Grbović, the leader of the Movement of Free Citizens (PSG), called the President of the Republic's call to block the Novi Sad court "a pure example of a coup d'état."

Savo Manojlović, the leader of the "Move-change" movement, thinks the same.

"When citizens protest against the government's decisions, they exercise their constitutional right to protest. When the President of the Republic calls for a blockade of the judiciary, he implements a coup d'état. Arrest Vučić," Manojlović wrote on the X network.

Answering Vučić, he said that the president called the loyalists who dislocated the jaw of a student who was sticking stickers with a bat "heroes".

"When he called for war, others perished in the hell of Košar. When he organized the system of corruption, Goran Vesić ended up behind bars. When he called for conflicts with students, he forced others to dislocate the students' jaws. Now he cannot bear that a united Serbia does not want the system of corruption and injustice that he symbolizes," added Manojlović.

Progressives with torches and oysters

Vučić apparently made the decision to engage his supporters to a greater extent to deal with protesting citizens, bypassing the legal instruments of state power because he is dissatisfied that prosecutors' offices, police and courts do not act entirely according to his discretion.

Thus, on Tuesday, May 20, a citizen's protest was organized in Kula, during which a banner with the inscription "The colored revolution has failed" was taken down from the Kula Municipal Assembly building and burned, which was placed on that building earlier, during the session of the local parliament.

Supporters of SNS gathered in a small park near the Gerontological Center and their party's premises and pelted the people who came to the protest with torches, eggs and oysters.

Just as the executive power calls for a blockade of the judiciary, the dominant ruling party lets its supporters off the chain to physically deal with citizens protesting against the government. If this manner takes off, Serbia will rush into some kind of civil war.
