The progressive counter-mingling was recognized as such among foreign agencies, which reported from the National Assembly

"The Serbian president is fighting to stifle the national movement", he is organizing a "nationalist rally to oppose student demands", and his power is "threatened by months of anti-corruption protests".

Like this progressive counter-rally world agencies report.

Thus, the American Associated Press reports that "the president of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić he demanded on Saturday that the authorities restore order and peace in the Balkan country after months of anti-corruption protests that have shaken his firm rule."

"Vučić addressed a large number of his supporters during a rally in the center of Belgrade, and many of them came by bus to the Serbian capital from the whole country, as well as neighboring Kosovo and Bosnia," adds AP. "The increasingly authoritarian Serbian government is intensifying its crackdown on critics and independent media, and the police are questioning students and activists and threatening legal measures to curb the strike at the university. Vučić's speech to thousands of supporters at a rally in Belgrade hinted that the state's pressure on protesters and the media could increase."

French AFP writes that Vučić announced the launch of a new political movement while calling on the disaffected to give up months of protests against him. Vučić, they add, told the crowd that the new political movement will push out "arrogant politicians", and the agency describes March 15 as the biggest protest in Serbia in the last few decades.

Threatened authority

The SNS government is threatened by months of anti-corruption protests, Reuters reported.

"The rally is perceived as Vučić's response to the large anti-government rally on March 15, when more than 100.000 people attended the largest protest in the previous decades. The protests increased and included students, teachers and farmers in a major challenge to Vučić, the populists in power for 12 years as prime minister or president," according to the British agency.

"The colored revolution is over," Vučić told the crowd of his supporters in front of the parliament. "They can walk as much as they want, but nothing will come of it," Vucic was quoted as saying by Reuters.

"Tensions between Vučić's supporters and anti-government protesters rose on Saturday. In Novi Pazar, which is the administrative center of a majority-Muslim region in Serbia, anti-government activists tried to prevent buses carrying Vučić's supporters from leaving the city. In Belgrade, protesters tried to prevent buses from reaching the city center and pelted them with eggs, prompting police intervention," according to Reuters.

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
