Nemanja Šarović comments for "Vreme" on the proposal to be a candidate for the next president of Serbia
The logic that only the one who understands the poorest and least educated class of society can rule in Serbia has always been favored by repressive systems, and above all by political parties that had a nationalist narrative behind them.
Thus, in recent months, during student protests and actions of dissatisfied citizens, the former stood out radical, now in the role of some kind of journalist, Nemanja Šarović. A decade or two ago, they met him at the entrance to the municipality of Zemun, because right next to the door is the entrance to the headquarters of the radicals, to the space they appropriated during the long rule of this municipality. Now he is the one who chases radicals, old and new, around Serbia to question them about everything.
A photo robot of the ideal anti-progressive candidate
The president of the National Freedom Movement (NSP), Miroslav Parović, presented the thesis that Nemanja Šarović, who is also the leader of the "Love, Faith, Hope" movement, due to, as he said, "his characteristics, political experience, but also his strong popularity among the student population, fits the photo-robot of the ideal candidate for the next presidential elections in Serbia", someone who could defeat the future progressive favorite.
According to Parović, Šarović is someone who could attract the so-called "national" electorate, disillusioned radicals of whom he was once an official, but also courtiers, supporters of Zavetnik and others, while in the meantime, due to all the latest actions to expose the nature of the progressive regime and "the courage to get to grips with the ćaci", he became the representative of a new, "liberated Serbia".
"Nemanja is someone who can attract 'civic-oriented' voters to vote for him in the second round, and in any case, he has the best chance of competing with 'Vučić's candidate,'" said Parović in the show "Bez pardona" on KTV television, for which Šarović works as a "journalist".
He added that Serbia needs a man with experience in leading large systems who is capable of assembling a broad team, to take over the country "after the ruins that remain after this whole process."
Šarović: Now we need to attack the regime
When asked by "Vremen" to comment on this call for candidacy, Šarović said that he did not see it, that he does not even watch his shows on YouTube, let alone others, so he had to call Parović to ask what it was about. He told him they got it on KTV for the title from a conversation with him.
"I can tell you most assuredly, I'm traveling a lot now, whether it's for protests or I'm visiting Serbia for some other reason. And, as far as I know, the next presidential election is only in 2027, so dealing with it now is pointless and counterproductive. Now it's important to attack this regime as soon as possible and as hard as possible," says the former radical.
A novel of the train of thought of a progressive
Šarović gained great popularity because he went to meetings of progressives and talked to ordinary people who support Vučić, so his conversations were shared like wildfire on the Internet. It turned out that people often do not know why they were brought somewhere, nor are they really sure that they support SNS, and some of them even changed their minds during the interview.
These conversations can also be interpreted as a kind of "thought flow novel", a form of speech in which the interlocutor says everything that comes to mind, without thinking first. Thus, through the conversation with Šarović, many progressives would think aloud about their actions for the first time.
Attacks on Šarović at progressive rallies and in "Ćaciland" also became viral.
Irish journalist Chey Bowes recorded the first part of a documentary called "War from the Shadows", which deals with the influence of foreign powers that are brokering Serbia and allegedly leading a "color revolution". Who does this man who lives in Moscow and is referred to as "Informer" actually work for?
Two weeks before the local elections in Zaječar, an all-day student protest will be held in that city. And the government is aware of the importance of the upcoming elections, because it has been sending heavyweights from the very top of the Serbian Progressive Party to the field for some time
The scattered assembly was formed by people who have been living abroad for years, even decades, and are successful in their fields of work. In addition to money, they try to send good ideas and help students as best they can
While the government is planning the preparation of a new Law on Higher Education, the academic community is responding by taking to the streets and protesting. The protest "Let's defend the universities" was held on Friday (May 23) in front of the Government of Serbia, and the organizers, among other things, requested the announcement of elections
The higher public prosecutor's office in Belgrade refused to publish data on how Siniša Mali paid for his children's education worth 235.000 euros, explaining that the case is "strictly confidential". The letter with this explanation was signed by the chief prosecutor Nenad Stefanović
As a special-purpose parastatal that uses metal bars to create "order and peace", Vučić is legalizing the hoodies. It is - approximately - something similar to Mussolini's "combat alliances" from 1919-1922.
Lucky that Serbia has the "Informer research team"! Dragan J. Vučićević discovered the infernal plan of "criminals" and "blockaders" at the last minute and thus saved the country again. That he is lying is less important
Keeping sociology professor Marija Vasić in prison on charges of terrorism is an anti-civilization crime. Or grotesque, whatever you want. Why don't judges, prosecutors, policemen, security guards rebel against it
