Miroslav Aleksić resigned from all positions in the People's Party, as well as the position of the head of that party's parliamentary group in the Assembly. Next week, the collection of signatures for the registration of a new political organization, the "People's Movement of Serbia", will begin.
transmitted by N1.He announced that he will form a new parliamentary group together with his fellow MPs, who are also from the People's Party, and a new councilor group in the Belgrade City Assembly.
"The party is not anyone's private property, it is not enough to have a stamp and giro account," said Aleksić in Oplenac.
He said that politicians have a place with the people.
"Today, people are looking for who are the people they can trust, you have to be with them all the time, rain or shine, in Bor, Nedeljica, but also in Kosovo. Serbia is looking for such politicians today. There are no more elites, we are in for a fight, we need a big movement where all citizens will mobilize in the fight against this government that is destroying the country," Aleksic said.
Aleksić also stated that he should leave the parliamentary club with members of parliament from the People's Party whose support he enjoys - Borislav Novaković, Đorđe Stanković and Slavica Radovanović. With the assessment that inadmissible things happened in their party, Aleksić stated that it is unsustainable for the leadership of the party to be on one side and the membership on the other.
None of us hates the party president. But we are fighting for the result and our future, said Aleksic, claiming that the changes in the top of the party caused dissatisfaction among the membership.
As announced earlier today, Miroslav Aleksić, vice-president of the People's Party, and representatives of a number of city and municipal committees are leaving the party, Aleksić confirmed for N1.
At today's meeting, members of the People's Party who support Miroslav Aleksić discuss further action, and it is interesting that they signed the invitation to the media to the event as the People's Movement of Serbia.
Aleksić does not have the support of Topola
The municipal committee of the People's Party in Topola announced today that none of its members support the party's vice president, Miroslav Aleksić, "because they do not tolerate betrayal."
At a time when the government is destroying Serbia and when togetherness and unity are badly needed, a group of members of the People's Party, led by Aleksić, has been unsuccessfully working to split the party in recent months. Only they and Aleksić know whether it is the desire for media self-promotion, the realization of personal and business interests or something else, but there is no doubt that these developments are in favor of the authorities, said the Municipal Board from Topola.
It was assessed that the establishment of Aleksić's movement in Topola was a hypocritical attempt to present themselves as some kind of opponents of the government. Topola was the capital of the insurgent Serbia and it is synonymous with the place where the fight against evil started, a place that is associated with bravery and heroism, while Aleksić's group does not fight against the political evil in power, but gives the wind at the back of the regime, it is claimed in the statement.
We remind you that the conflict in the People's Party has been going on for a long time and last week it entered the final phase, culminating in the removal of Aleksić from the position of the president of the party's Executive Committee.
After the dismissal of Miroslav Aleksić from the position of President of the Executive Committee, the head of the National People's Committee in Belgrade, Miloš Pavlović, in the middle of this week, sent a request to withdraw that decision, the deadline for which expired on Friday.
"We are not splitting the party, we are giving the opportunity to both the president and the presidency to cancel controversial decisions," said Miloš Pavlović at the time.
Jeremic's side claims that the change took place with the aim of running a democratic and transparent electoral assembly, while Aleksic's side claims that the aim is to artificially change the will of the membership.
