"This is the moment when opposition politicians should be in front of the people whose views they represent or intend to represent." What we are heading towards will necessarily entail dangers and inconveniences," Predrag Voštinić from the Local Front told Vreme.
"As you sow, so you reap", says the famous proverb that the mayor of Kraljevo said last week Predrag Terzic felt it firsthand.
After weeks of insults and targeting of students and other dissidents on social media, a video has gone viral showing Terzic he runs away from the city parliament accompanied by security, while the citizens gathered in front of the building shower him with eggs and insults.
They came there at the invitation of the councilors of the Kraljevo Local Front, who had previously insisted that Terzić leave the assembly hall because of his behavior and damage to the reputation of the parliament.
He talks about the event in Kraljevo, the similar treatment that Terzić has in the rural areas of the Kraljevo atar, about the historical rebellion of students and citizens, but also about other current events, questions and dilemmas, for the new issue of "Vremena" Predrag Voštinić, one of the leaders Local front.
Understandable fencing of students
Although the scene in front of the Kraljevo parliament caused a significant number of positive reactions on social networks, the students soon distanced themselves from the incident where the mayor of Kraljevo, who has been targeting them for weeks, took the brunt of it.
Despite the fact that this action surprised many, Voštinić says that it is understandable.
"The nature of their struggle does not match the nature of this incident." Therefore, my comrades and I take full responsibility for him. We don't want to shift the responsibility to the children, whose protests were and remained peaceful, without any eggs and without aggressive opposition to the authorities".
As he says, separating students from the opposition should not be understood as antagonism, but as a call for everyone to do their job.
"This is the moment when opposition politicians should be in front of the people whose views they represent or intend to represent." "What we are heading towards will necessarily entail dangers and inconveniences, and anyone who wants to engage in opposition activity should be prepared for that," the "Vremena" interlocutor believes.
However, what has been achieved cannot be changed overnight.
"Realistically speaking, some parties have irretrievably lost their dignity by betraying the values they formally stand for and by making various compromises with the authorities." For others, it is a difficult and painstaking process, working in the field and with citizens," says Voštinić.
