"That's what bothers this regime - educated people who notice what fascism is, and fascism is what you're looking at now," says the son of Marija Vasić

Shipping Costs Marija Vasic, Milan Canak says that the family unofficially found out that his mother, during the period when they did not know to which hospital she was transferred, was staying at the Clinical Center of Vojvodina (KCV) so that they could stabilize her as much as possible so that she could survive the journey to Belgrade.

Milan says that he last saw his mother on Tuesday when he went to visit her in Klisa.

"Of the family and lawyers, the last to see her was her husband, David, who was on an extraordinary visit yesterday.", while she was still in Klisa, where we were told that she could no longer walk and that she had difficulty speaking, that she was fainting. Then we were informed unofficially that they were going to move her to a hospital in Belgrade. We were not told in which or when. We immediately left for Belgrade, we didn't even know to which hospital they were going to transfer her. There we have a gap of a couple of hours where we don't even know where she was. Now we know, but at that moment we didn't know where she was, nor what condition she was in, nor whether she was alive," Canak told N1.

There is no report.

In the end, he says, they unofficially learned that during that period Marija Vasić was at the Clinical Center of Vojvodina (KCV).

"She was in the KCV to stabilize her as much as possible so that she could survive the journey to Belgrade," Canak said.

Care for a woman who can't shut up about injustice and won't ask for mercy

When asked if the family knows what condition Marija is in after she was admitted to the hospital in Belgrade, she says:

"All the information we have is unofficial because no one reports anything to us, we have not received any letter or report about anything. We know from unofficial sources that she received an infusion and that she is much better. So they stabilized her, I don't know if she is still on strike, but even if she is not on strike, she should not drink water or eat now, because her kidneys may fail," he says.

"My mother wrote two books about the Holocaust. She teaches sociology, she teaches about the Holocaust and fascist regimes. That's what bothers this regime - educated people who notice what fascism is, and fascism is what you're looking at now," says Marija Vasić's son.

"We miss our mother"

When asked how the family behaves and endures this situation, it states:

"Her husband was in shock yesterday when he saw her after two months. He saw her for the first time because he didn't have permission to visit her. And for the first time in two months he saw her after three days of hunger strike, where she was in a catastrophic condition. So, he was in shock. My younger brother is the same, he misses his mother. And I'm holding on and we're fighting here and we'll be there until the political prisoners are released," Canak emphasized.

Marija Vasić, activist and professor of sociology at the "Jovan Jovanović Zmaj" Gymnasium, after three days of hunger and thirst strike in the prison in Novi Sad, was transferred to the hospital in Belgrade yesterday.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
