The "Serbia against violence" protest, as the opposition politicians themselves have announced, is intensifying, and after the highway blockade on Friday, today a "campaign" is planned on TV Pink in the regular time of the ninth protest against violence.
For many, Pink is the right address where citizens will be able to express their dissatisfaction in front of television, which they recognize as the main promoter of violence and society. One of the demands of the "Serbia against violence" protest is to withdraw the national frequency from Pink TV.
The owner of Pink, Željko Mitrović, not only did not cancel "Zadruga", as he had announced, but for days he has been pompously announcing the new edition of "Zadruga Elita" for September and seems to be deliberately poking the eyes of dissatisfied citizens. The eternal regime media defender and ally of Aleksandar Vučić readily and deliberately provokes citizens' protest in his news programs, and this time by completely covering the building of his television station with the flag of Serbia the day before the "March on Pink" was announced.
The right address for the protest
For actor Ivan Jevtović, today's walk goes "to the right address" where the "key to the problem" is located. transmissions H1. He thinks that Mitrović is "aware of what he has done to this society."
"One of the key problems is that we did not lock that company on October 6. "I did not receive an adequate answer as to why it was not done," says Jevtović. "Since the negative phenomenon of that media appeared in the nineties, we had to control it immediately. I sincerely hope that station has to lose its national frequency".
He believes that the reality program of Pink television inspired and spilled over into the news program of that television, and therefore does not differ much from the reality itself, and that "what is happening to us is largely connected with what is broadcast on that channel." ".
Message from Želj Mitrović
Mitrović told the protesters on social media, and all the information programs on Pink reported, that he personally has nothing against protesting in front of Pink, that he certainly won't be able to accommodate everyone in the building, "but the organizers Đilas, Aleksić, Ćuta, Zelenović... can certainly come to my office, they know very well where they can find me, because for these 30 years, some of them have not left it... and neither reality TV nor any other program bothered them."
"Regarding the editing of Pink Television's program, that cannot be a topic because I edit the program of the most watched television in Serbia, not Đilas, Aleksić and Ćuta, but neither does the street," Mitrović continued, "and if anything is controversial in terms of programming, the Republic Serbia has institutions that would definitely warn me about any irregularity that is in conflict with existing laws and regulations! Once again, private property, including Pink, is inviolable in Serbia, but it is also ready to resist any kind of violence and terror! See you!
