Extraordinary elections: Students hit the center of Vučić's fear

The students, when they came out with a unifying, for many long-awaited request for extraordinary parliamentary elections - hit the center of the target. This request is clearly for too big a challenge for progressives, they and their partners don't know what to do with it, which is most evident in their confused statements.

Darko Glišić, the man of the regime in charge of special tasks that those who at least minimally hold to dignity, law, morality and civilized existence do not want to deal with - announced the magnificent victory of the Serbian Progressive Party in the elections for local community councils. The progressives, for one thing, triumphed first in Bela Palanka and Babušnica, and then in Dimitrovgrad and Vranje, as well as in the Vranj city municipality of Vranjska Banja.

The victories were achieved simply: the Serbian Progressive Party practically had no competitors - especially poorly organized ones - no one controlled the goat that kept and counted the voting cabbage leaves, citizens were blackmailed and forced to go to the polls, and support was also bought - with microwave ovens, thermos bottles, well pumps and vibrators...

There will be extraordinary elections, but when?

The president of the SRCE party, Zdravko Ponoš, said in an interview with "Vreme" that he is convinced that there will be extraordinary parliamentary elections, but that it is difficult to estimate when, since many factors influence it.

"There are three scenarios that lead to extraordinary parliamentary elections", Ponoš believes and adds that the ratings of the parties in power, especially the progressives, are on a downward trajectory.
but that other actors on the political scene cannot boast that their shares are growing.

Vladimir Marović, a political scientist and activist of the Local Front from Kraljevo, underlines that at this moment elections are certainly not the desired option for Vučić. According to him, things have changed significantly compared to the period of just a year ago, when the regime arrogantly treated election cycles and their regularity, convinced of absolute dominance driven on the "wheels" of Bulgarian trains and regional buses.

"Nevertheless, the pressure it is suffering from within, and which is increasingly present from the outside as well, especially from Brussels, leaves this regime room for tactical, but not epoch-making, strategic maneuvers," said Marović.
