Among the voters who say they would vote for the current government, as many as 40,4 percent of them believe that they would canopy fall Railway stations in Novi Sad "diversion directed by foreign services", the research shows New Serbian political thoughts which was exclusively published by "Vreme" in the new issue.
This is a larger number than those who believe that it is an "unfortunate case as they happen and for which no one is to blame" (37,1 percent). Nine percent of government voters think that it is negligence and corruption, and the rest do not have an answer to the question.
The thesis about "sabotage" appeared since the tragedy itself eleven months ago, but in the previous weeks it entered the mainstream of the regime's media, so it was repeated even by some of the top authorities.
The President of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić, for example, said on TV Pink that the canopy "was torn down as the beginning of a colored revolution."
"I don't think that the canopy fell by itself, nor that it was an accident, a tragedy, or any product of some negligent actions in that sense, I think that it was a planned diversion," said Brnabić.
And Informer, for example, published "exclusive photos it obtained" and which, as the paper stated, "cast doubt that the fall of the canopy in Novi Sad may be an act of terrorism."
Such claims, despite the evidence, show that the electorate of progressives has tendencies towards conspiracy theories and blaming the services for everything and anything, up to the alleged "color revolution".
Several analyzes from the construction profession and investigations are based on the findings that the main reason for the fall of the canopy is corrosion in the steel braces - which testifies to the fact that the building was not maintained and that no one took this into account during the reconstruction.
