Vucic under pressure: Mass protests after a fatal misfortune in Novi Sad!

Dadenate to resign from Serbia's leadership after fatal misfortune!

In a dramatic expression of the trouble, tens of thousands of Serbs have gathered in the capital Belgrade to protest against President Aleksandar Vucic and his governing Serbian progress party (SNS). The reason? A devastating accident at a train station where 15 people lost their lives! The anger of the citizens is tangible and the demands for justice and responsibility are loud and clear!

The protest, one of the largest in recent years, was organized by university students and farmers' associations on Sunday and took place on the Slavija Square in Belgrade. The demonstration began with 15 minutes of silence - a moving homage to the victims of the tragic accident that occurred on November 1, when the roof of the newly renovated train station collapsed in Novi Sad.

an accident that raises questions

The day of the day died on the said day, whose age was between six and 74 years old, and another person succumbed to his injuries in the hospital weeks later. The public prosecutor has already arrested 13 people, including a government minister. But the release of the minister has shaken public trust in the investigation!

The opposition and the government accuse the government that the accident is due to poor building quality, which was funded by corruption and nepotism. Vucic and his coalition reject these allegations, but people are dissatisfied and demand consequences!

"Vucic, thief!", The demonstrators called and swiveled their cell phones to create a sea of ​​lights. Posters with slogans like "We are all under the roof" and "You have blood on your hands" were held up. An IT expert from Novi Sad, Aleksa, 30, said: "We are here to say 'stop' to everything that has happened since 2012. We want an end to corruption and nepotism!"

an uprising of the citizens

The protesters not only call for the resignation of Vucic and the Mayor of Novi Sad, but also the criminal prosecution of those responsible. In addition, they demand that the legal steps against the demonstrators are dropped and the attackers of the protesters are held accountable!

The wave of the protest has also captured prominent actors and artists who have joined the demonstrators. Actor Bane Trifunovic described the rally as the "Festival of Freedom". Smaller protests also took place in the cities of Nis and Kragujevac!

To smooth the waves, the authorities have promised various subsidies for young people in recent weeks. But the students and their supporters are dissatisfied and demand more than just half -hearted solutions!

Despite the continuing protests, Vucic inaugurated a new section of a motorway in Central Serbia on Sunday. He remains adamant and rejected the opposition's claims by a transitional government by accusing them of abusing the students for their own power games. "We will defeat them again," he said. "The opposition doesn't know what to do except to use other people's children."

The weekly protests reflect the general discomfort with Vucic's rule. While he claims to want to lead Serbia to the European Union, he is accused of restricting democratic freedoms rather than promoting. The citizens are determined to fight for their rights and to hold those responsible!
