Blockades in Serbia: A Big Farce or a Failed Attempt at Civil Disobedience?
Have you noticed that the blockades, which were supposed to be a huge social event in Serbia, are actually just a handful of people annoying everyone else? N1, the media giant of United Group, finally admitted what everyone already knows – there is no crowd on the streets, no revolution, just empty talk and a diluted movement.
What’s happening on the ground?
Last night on N1, a journalist openly admitted that the number of people at the blockades is shrinking. The wildfires that hit Serbia diverted attention from the protests, and the blockaders decided to cancel the announced blockades in several cities. Is this a sign that the movement lost support or just a rational move due to circumstances?
Blockades nobody supports
While the media tried to portray the blockades as a massive civil uprising, the reality was different. Only small groups of people appeared on the streets, making barricades and slowing traffic, but far from the massiveness and enthusiasm that was promised.
Why did it all fail?
The main reason is the loss of public support. People are tired of pointless blockades that only make their lives harder. The fires and other emergencies further showed how irresponsible and harmful the blockades are to society.
What’s next?
Will the blockaders manage to regain trust and organize something meaningful? Or is this the end of a failed attempt at civil disobedience? One thing is clear – Serbia did not see mass blockades, only a diluted handful that quickly lost strength.
Conclusion
If you thought blockades would change something in Serbia, maybe it’s time to rethink your views. This story is more comedy than revolution. So, what do you think? Were the blockades just a bad joke or is there hope for a new start? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s in and who’s out of this “revolution”!
