Election campaign and political violence

Real victims and Vučić's acting

The former president of Serbia entered the election campaign with almost all levers of political and institutional power. At the same time, his opponents become thugs, terrorists, foreign mercenaries and a threat to the state, while the government presents itself as a party that only defends itself. From Bežaniska kosa and Futoška pijaca to Belgrade Arena, the same reversal of roles opens up a more dangerous question than who started the individual incident: what happens when a political opponent ceases to be a competitor in elections and becomes an enemy from which Serbia must be defended

Anti-diaspora regime

There are as many voters from dispersion this time as there are voters in - let's say - Kragujevac, the fourth largest city in Serbia.

Šapić survived October 6th

Aleksandar Šapić politically survived October 6 and the session of the City Assembly, where his dismissal was not even discussed. The opposition promised to formally request it in the coming period, although it is clear that they do not have the majority. For now, the opponents of the government, as well as the citizens, only have the promise of the acting president of the state, Ana Brnabić, that "everyone will see in the future what will be the position of the party" of which Šapić is the vice president. Until then, the regime will be silent, just as now the first man of the city is loudly silent, who was again not at the session where objectively it was a key topic

Election propaganda: Progressives and women

House, children and to be quiet

In this campaign, Aleksandar Vučić hardly gave a speech without mentioning women. Sam explained why: a woman is responsible because she has to take care of the house, children and parents. That compliment contains his entire idea of ​​a woman, but also the boundary beyond which a woman ceases to be "ours" and becomes an enemy.
