Students in the blockade have announced a protest in Belgrade in front of the Government of Serbia for May 30. However, is that all

Students in the blockade announced on social networks that on Friday, May 30, they will organize protest in Belgrade in front of the Serbian Government building.

The key message of the protest will be a request to call for elections, and they also shared a precise protest plan.

The gathering is scheduled for 16.30:XNUMX p.m. at the Old Railway Station, after which the participants will move towards the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office, then through Slavija to reach their final destination - the Government of Serbia building.

A post shared by Self-organized group of students - Blokada (@studenti_u_blokadi)

Is "March 15+" Coming Up

However, is that all?

Until now, the authorities have not fulfilled the students' demands - even after all these massive protests throughout Serbia and the six-month blockade of the faculty.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić resolutely rejected the request of students in the blockade to call for extraordinary parliamentary elections, as a peaceful solution to the deep social crisis and growing tensions.

In order to force the "coward" to call for elections, the idea is circulating among the students to set a deadline and schedule a new big rally in Belgrade, similar to the one held on March 15.

So if the "coward" calls the elections, to celebrate the victory of democracy and immediately unblock the faculties, and if not - there are several possibilities.

It is only certain that this type of student protests has reached its zenith. The government is recovering from heavy knockdowns, increasing the level of repression and existential violence against the Bunjis, and has managed to create discord in the academic community.

If this wave of protests dissipates, mass purges and the dismantling of the University can be expected, in order to crush any germ of a future rebellion.

Overview of the week

Order of Vojë Sešelj with a baseball bat

Just as Šešelj pulled a gun on the students at the beginning of the nineties, so Vučić pulls his beaters on their rebellious daughters and sons today. It's the same policy, just adapted to the times

Comment

Trample and break the damned "blockades", says the president

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, acquits thugs and madmen who beat and trample students, while arresting those same students. A people in rebellion is no longer guaranteed a bare life - but the guild will pay for this regime in the end

Protests in Serbia no longer impose questions of "whether" and "if", they have become systemic events. Tolerance in society has turned into an insatiable need for normality, for the rule of law
